    Author: Calkins E.
    Journal: Prim Care; 1982 Mar; 9(1):181-95. PubMed ID: 6978496.
    Abstract:
    The manifestations of rheumatic disease in the elderly present a confusing array of diagnoses to the primary care physician. Helpful guidelines in pursuing a definitive diagnosis are outlined, with special mention of three rheumatic conditions (pseudogout, polymyalgia rheumatica, and temporal arteritis) which are uniquely characteristic of elderly patients.
