Rheumatologic Disorder

http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov/xml/owl/EVS/Thesaurus.owl#C27204

A group of disorders marked by inflammation or pain in the connective tissue structures of the body. These structures include bone, cartilage, and fat.

A term previously used to describe chronic diseases of the connective tissue (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic sclerosis), but now is thought to be more appropriate for diseases associated with defects in collagen, which is a component of the connective tissue.

An umbrella term used to encompass disorders characterized by autoimmunity, autoinflammatory processes, joint or connective tissue inflammation or degeneration.
