RHEUMATOLOGICAL FEATURES OF PATIENTS ADMITTED AS EMERGENCIES TO ACUTE GENERAL MEDICAL WARDS

M. A. SPENCER and A. S. DIXON

St. Martin's Hospital Bath, Avon

Correspondence to: Requests for reprints to Dr. M. A. Spencer, Royal United Hospital, Combe Park, Bath, Avon.

Of 100 consecutive patients admitted as emergencies to three acute general medical wards in a district general hospital, 43 had an associated rheumatological problem which in 32 patients was a source of complaint and in 19 of these either caused the admission, contributed to it, or modified arrangements for treatment, nursing, rehabilitation or discharge.
