Reply to the Letter to the Editor: The Italian Society of Rheumatology clinical practice guidelines for the management of polymyalgia rheumatica

摘要

We thank Dr Manzo for his thoughtful letter regarding the clinical practice guidelines for the management of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) on behalf of the Italian Society of Rheumatology (SIR) (1). We are pleased to reply to his apparent concerns over the role of General Practitioners (GPs) and out-of-hospital Consultants in these guidelines and their development.
