This selection of MCQs in rheumatology is largely aimed at MRCP
candidates but some will be difficult for established
rheumatologists and some will be possible for enthusiastic medical
students. The format of the questions largely follows that used in
the MRCP Part I examination with a few exceptions employing
diagrams and assertion/reason questions (these are explained on p.
vi). No gui dance on scoring is included since we feel that if an
honest attempt is made at answering the question then the process
is, in itself. educa tional. Some of the answers have been
determined only after consider able discussion between us and as
far as possible we have attempted to convey the views expressed in
accepted British texts. Where answers seem contentious an
appropriate reference has been given. Similarly the layout of the
chapters largely follows that adopted by standard text books
although the basic sciences have been incorpor ated within the
individual chapters. We wish to thank Mrs. Dora Smith for typing
and re-typing the manuscript according to the foibles of three
different authors. Leeds, October 1988 P. S. Helliwell H. A. Bird
V. Wright Assertion/Reason Questions These questions consist of two
statements. The first statement is numbered 1 and the second is
numbered 2. For example: 1. A positive family history of ankylosing
spondylitis (AS) is often found in patients with this disease. 2.

AS."
