Respected Seniors and Dear Friends,

Greetings!

It is my privilege to welcome you to the latest edition of the IRA e-newsletter. Infections pose a huge challenge in day to day rheumatology practice. The current issue focusses on infections, mimics and role of vaccination.

The insights will offer valuable guidance on navigating diagnostic dilemmas and therapeutic challenges. There are write ups on resident training initiatives, institutional milestones, regional chapter updates and interactive clinical challenges.

I extend my sincere appreciation to the editorial team and our contributors for their dedicated efforts in bringing this comprehensive edition together.

I trust that you will find the contents of this newsletter both professionally enriching and practically beneficial to your daily practice.

Warm regards,

Aman Sharma

President, Indian Rheumatology Association
