[Information of the rheumatic patient in the 19th century].
From the beginning of the 19th century, universities considered it necessary to publish books on gout and rheumatic diseases which today we would describe as constituting public information. These books were intended for young doctors as well as the general public and patients. Rheumatology is probably the first specialty in which such an approach was considered to be useful. The current efforts in the area of public information therefore constitute a historical continuation of this approach.
