Opis

This textbook provides a detailed treatment of the histopathology of blistering diseases. In a succinct manner, it covers the clinical features, the immunofluorescence and the electron microscopic findings. It is supplemented by selected references and encompasses the new discoveries which occurred in recent years concerning the molecular aetiology of these diseases. It represents the first book in the field of blistering diseases which contains an in-depth account of histopathology and correlates it with the clinical features and the molecular biology in an unique didactic style.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

Histopathology of Blistering Diseases is one of my candidates for the medical book of the year. It combines superb technical qualities with excellent teaching, and addresses the most dramatic group of diseases encountered by dermatologists. My advice-glance through this book at a meeting or in the medical book store. Once you have it in your hands, you will buy it.
