USDThe granulomatous disorders are a group of conditions affecting a wide range of organ systems in the body. They are most commonly caused by infection and are characterized by multiple chronic inflammatory lesions. This is a field that has opened up substantially in recent years because of the explosion in new molecular biology techniques. This timely and comprehensive account is organized to include chapters focusing on causative agents as well as those addressing affected body systems. Highly illustrated throughout, this volume encompasses and integrates the very latest in science, pathology, and practical clinical advice available. Contributions by international authorities combine the expertise of both pathologists and clinicians. This book is sure to become a valuable resource to a very wide readership that includes infectious disease specialists, immunologists, pathologists, and general physicians.
- Comprehensive, practical and multidisciplinary
- Written by international authorities
- Highly illustrated
Reviews & endorsements
"...I strongly recommend this exemplary volume to all physicians, even those who are unaware that they are interested in these remarkable bodily reactions that molecular biology is rescuing from a nosologic and descriptive catalog." Journal of the American Medical Association
"The Granulomatous Disorders, a beautifully illustrated and thoughtful textbook, provides a substantive overview of both infectious and idiopathic granulomatous disorders...This is a true reference book, with the chapters organized in such a way that they can be read independently of one another...In brief, this handsome, eminently readable book is an excellent reference for general clinicians, specialists, students, and scientists facing the challenge of understanding and treating the granulomatous disorders." The New England Journal of Medicine
"Professor D Geraint James is a global guru on sarcoidosis, and has made numerous contribitions to our knowledge of these disease and other granulomatosis...James and Zulma have created a new and important information sorce for a group of disease that are freqently difficult to diagnose and understanding...I urge all academic libraries to carry this book." Journal of Infectious Diseases
