disease and also for patients with rheumatologic manifestations of other
systemic disorders.

subspecialists, e.g., uveitis (ophthalmology), polychondritis (otolaryngology),
etc.† We would undertake such co-management with the expectation of close
ongoing communication between rheumatology and the referring subspecialist.
