    Author: Weiss TE, Gum OB, Biundo JJ.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 1976 Dec; 60(6):141-50. PubMed ID: 63120.
    Abstract:
    In a case of rheumatic disease, the patient's history and a careful physical examination should yield most of the information needed to identify the specific disorder present. A convenient classification is based on four differentiating features: number of joints affected, acuteness or chronicity of disease, absence of joint involvement, and anatomic distribution.
