Connective tissue diseases are individually uncommon, so a rheumatology thesis in MD Medicine works best where a dedicated clinic or immunology lab already exists. The sample titles explore infections in patients on immunosuppressants, organ involvement in systemic sclerosis by autoantibody profile, lupus nephritis in women, coexisting autoimmune thyroid disease and disease activity in ankylosing spondylitis.
Autoantibody panels, complement levels and renal biopsy are the investigations most likely to limit sample size, so confirm cost and turnaround. Recruiting only newly diagnosed patients can slow enrolment considerably; including established cases with clear disease activity scoring is often more practical. Many patients are young women, which raises pregnancy and contraception issues around certain drugs.

4Tips for a Rheumatology & Immunology thesis
- Use classification criteria such as ACR/EULAR for rheumatoid arthritis, SLE and systemic sclerosis, and disease activity scores like DAS28, SLEDAI and BASDAI, stating the version used.
- For lupus nephritis, specify whether ISN/RPS class from renal biopsy is required; if biopsy is not routinely done, frame the study around proteinuria and renal function instead.
- Infection studies should define infection requiring hospitalisation clearly and record steroid dose and other immunosuppressants, because these drive risk more than the underlying diagnosis itself.
