In this episode we are joined again by Rheumatology Specialist Registrar Dr Aine Connerton to discuss Systemic Sclerosis (scleroderma) as a potential station in the Irish MRCPI Part II clinical exam. We talk through a case of rheumatoid arthritis - the physical findings, a differential diagnosis, investigations and management. We then go on to briefly talk through some potential follow-up questions including monitoring on biologic therapy, extra-articular manifestations, and causes of anaemia in RA.
