Rezensionen

"This is likely one of the most comprehensive and complete books on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis currently available, and it should be extremely useful to pulmonologists and researchers who are interested in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of this fatal disease." (Santosh Dhungana, Doody's Book Reviews, April 26, 2019)
