Case Studies in Systemic Sclerosis deals specifically with Systemic Sclerosisin a case study format. Each case presentation includes illustrative figures,a discussion of the pathophysiology relevant to the case, a discussion of management that is both evidence-based and expert opinion-based and several key references for further reading. With its easy-to-use format, this book presentsmultiple different manifestations of Systemic Sclerosis to a wide range of readers. Because this disease has a broad range of systemic features, Case Studies in Systemic Sclerosis is a valuable reference tool not only to the community of rheumatologists (trainees, academic and private practice rheumatologists)and dermatologists, but also potentially to internists, gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, cardiologists and nephrologists. The book’s case-based approach makes it suitable as a learning tool as well as a clinical reference. Highly illustrated cases provide a visual guide which is relevant to the diagnostic setting. Currently, there is no other book available that deals specifically with systemic sclerosis in a case study format.
