Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Presenting an overview of the specific clinical problems that may be secondary to underlying immunological processes, this comprehensive reference details practical approaches for diagnosing and treating critically ill patients with rheumatic or immunological diseases. Emphasizing the clinical utililty of the procedures discussed, Acute Rheumatic and Immunological Diseases ??includes useful algorithms to sort through interrelated medical conditions and diagnoses ??focuses on acute management issues rather than on chronic therapy for rheumatic and immunological diseases ??provides an exhaustive review of drug overdosage and toxicity ??delineates successful treatment strategies for hematological, cardiopulmonary, and renal problems ??analyzes specific therapeutic modalities ??and much more!

Book News Annotation:

For hospital-based internists and subspecialists who care for acutely ill patients, provides management reviews of specific clinical problems (not necessarily diseases), which may be secondary to underlying immunological processes. The reviews are purposely subjective, with the contributors outlining the facts and proposing their own diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms. The volume is divided into nine sections: laboratory tests; complications of drug therapy; general management problems; hematological management problems; diagnosis of vasculitis; management of renal problems; management of Lyme disease--serious complications; management of cardiopulmonary problems; and specific therapeutic modalities.
