%0 Journal Article %A D. J. Rhodes %T Giant cell arteritis in general practice %D 1976 %J The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners %P 337-346 %V 26 %N 166 %X The clinical syndrome of polymyalgia rheumatica is reviewed. The relationship of this disease with temporal arteritis is discussed, and I consider both syndromes have a pathological basis of generalised giant cell arteritis. Seven cases of polymyalgia and four cases of temporal arteritis were recorded during the six-year period (1969-1975) in one general practice. The outlines of management are discussed, with a plea for earlier recognition of the syndromes of polymyalgia rheumatica and temporal arteritis in general practice. %U https://bjgp.org/content/bjgp/26/166/337.full.pdf
