 I
am Luis
Catoggio and I trained as a Physician in Argentina. I
completed my Medical Residency at the Hospital Italiano de
Buenos Aires.
After finishing my year as Chief Resident, I trained in
Rheumatology as a Research Fellow and Honorary Registrar
at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in
Bath, UK. It was during this time that I became interested
in scleroderma and autoantibodies while working with Dr.
Peter J. Maddison.
Upon completing my Fellowship, I returned to Argentina and
the Hospital
Italiano where I head the Rheumatology Section of the
Medical Services.
Our group consists of three full time Consultants, two Fellows
in training (we are one of the Academic Training Units recognised
by the Buenos Aires Medical School, University of Buenos
Aires) and visiting residents. One of our special interests
are the Connective Tissue diseases including Scleroderma.
We see around 6,000 outpatient visits yearly, reflecting
a wide spectrum of rheumatic diseases.
