Overview

The spectrum of systemic rheumatologic disease (often termed connective tissue disease) is characterized by autoimmune-mediated organ dysfunction, and the lungs are a frequent target. There are numerous pulmonary manifestations associated with connective tissue diseases, and all patients with rheumatologic disease are at risk of developing associated lung disease. Pulmonary Manifestations of Rheumatic Disease covers the comprehensive management of rheumatologic lung disease, which requires a multi-disciplinary approach and is optimized by active engagement by rheumatologists working closely with pulmonologists and other specialists. The book offers a practical reference using a case-based approach for practicing clinicians in the ongoing assessment and understanding of rheumatologic lung disease, and presents the science and pathophysiology underlying rheumatologic lung diseases. The first text of its kind specifically dedicated to describe diverse, commonplace, and challenging aspects of rheumatologic lung diseases, Pulmonary Manifestations of Rheumatic Disease serves as an invaluable tool for the practicing clinician.

Reviews

This outstanding book focuses on the present knowledge and therapies, as well as potential future advances, in the fields of lung disease and the rheumatic diseases. This is a tool that will most benefit practicing rheumatologists, pulmonologists, and any trainees in these fields. This is a great book for practicing clinicians and trainees. It is easy to read and well organized; a good reference to have on hand. (Kyle Sinclair, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2015)
