The author mentions some recent advances from the sphere of clinical medicine and associated theoretical disciplines which may closely influence the future development of rheumatology. In addition to technical advances as regards visualization of tissue structures such as magnetic resonance and the development of artificial prostheses of damaged joints, molecular biology and genetics are the greatest advance as regards knowledge of the aetiopathogenesis of disease in particular those which have an immunopathological background.
