AB  - Most  rheumatologic  diseases  are  diagnosed  “clinically”  –  e.g.,  a  rheumatologist  weighs  the  exam  findings,  labs,  imaging  and/or  tissue  biopsy  results  and  makes  a  (sometimes  tentative)  diagnosis  based  on  the  strength  of  concordance  between  these  findings  and  a  given  disease  entity.Classification  criteria:  Diagnostic  criteria  exist  to  ensure  homogeneity  of  patients  with  rheumatologic  diseases  who  enroll  in  clinical  trials.  Therefore,  these  criteria  are  biased  in  favor  of  specificity  and  NOT  intended  to  diagnose  rheumatic  diseases.
