Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book to specifically deal with hidradenitis suppurativa, a common but overlooked disease that regularly causes significant problems for both patients and doctors. Many patients experience it as a painful and disturbing skin disease, which responds poorly to therapy, rendering it similarly disheartening to doctors from different specialties. The book offers comprehensive guidelines on diagnosis and therapy. The first section presents the best current knowledge about diagnosis, pathogenesis and complications. The second section offers comprehensive guidelines on diagnosis and therapy. The book, with its reader-friendly structure and format, will assist doctors in providing a broader range of treatments for their patients. To increase the practical usefulness of the book, a description of the patients' perspective and patient information is included.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The book gives a good historical overview on HS emphasizing on the many confusing names the disease has been given since its first description more than a hundred years ago and the century long discussion of the involvement of apocrine glands in the pathology of the disease. ... In conclusion, this book is well structured, easy to read and are a great source of information ... . recommendable for all physicians with more than a superficial interest in HS." (Elisabeth Eiling, Archives of Dermatological research, Vol. 299, 2007)
