Synopsis

Practical and user-friendly, this is the ideal guide to the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis, helping you navigate a logical management pathway through a complex maze of possibilities.

Psoriasis is a cruel disease that can seriously affect the sufferer’s quality and length of life. It is also highly idiosyncratic, with features that vary greatly from patient to patient; this being mirrored in the highly variable response to treatment. It is increasingly recognized that psoriasis is not a discrete disease and that many patients suffer two or three comorbid conditions that can complicate the efforts of doctors treating patients.

Psoriasis: Diagnosis and Management will provide dermatologists of all levels with a practical, well-illustrated approach to fully understanding the disease, including clear, clinical guidance to enable best-practice and effective management of patients.

In full color throughout and excellently illustrated, key highlights include:

  • easily understandable description of the psoriasis pathogenesis;
  • a strong emphasis on the clinical features of psoriasis;
  • careful consideration of comorbid conditions as part of the psoriatic spectrum to be managed;
  • coverage of both traditional and contemporary management approaches;
  • plenty of diagnostic algorithms and management protocols to aid the daily practical care of patients.

Brought to you by several of the world’s leading authorities on the subject, Psoriasis: Diagnosis and Management is an essential purchase for the dermatologist.
