IGICH Bangalore MD-Trained Paediatric Rheumatology and Immunology Sub Specialist with Book Authorship
Paediatric rheumatology and immunology is one of the most niche paediatric sub specialties in India, with formal fellowship trained practitioners remaining a small group nationally. Childhood autoimmune conditions such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis, juvenile lupus, Kawasaki disease, and primary immunodeficiencies often go under recognised when managed by general paediatricians, since their presentation, treatment, and long term monitoring differ substantially from adult rheumatology.
Dr Anil's pathway combines four sequential training stages: MBBS at Al Ameen Medical College Vijayapura, Diploma in Child Health from JJM Medical College Davangere, MD Paediatrics from Indira Gandhi Institute of Child Health (IGICH) Bangalore, and Fellowship in Paediatric Rheumatology and Immunology at Manipal Hospitals Old Airport Road Bangalore. His authored book "Interesting and Challenging Cases in Pediatrics" further reflects his academic engagement with paediatric clinical literature. Combined with dedicated workshop training in musculoskeletal ultrasound through the Association of Indian Rheumatology and primary immunodeficiency training at PGIMER Chandigarh, this depth of paediatric sub specialty care is now offered through Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road and Manipal Hospital, Jayanagar.
