Reviews

A comprehensive up-to-date review by an internationally recognized group of clinicians and investigators...The layout of the book is well-balanced and both the clinical aspects and the basic research are well reviewed...Overall, this book is highly recommended for clinicians, both the rheumatologists and the non-rheumatologists, as well as the immunogeneticists and other research scientists interested in spondyloarthritides. Ruben Burgos-Vargas, Research Division, Hospital General de Mexico, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico. These relatively unconnected and partially overlapping chapters are clearly written but cover simple ground. They will help interested students, junior doctors or primary care physicians and may give trainee and experienced rheumatologists a chance to catch up on recent ideas about pathogenesis. Rheumatology in Europe, Vol.27/2, 1998
