Orphan Lung Diseases: A Clinical Guide to Rare Lung Disease provides a comprehensive, clinically focused textbook on rare and so-called 'orphan' pulmonary diseases. The book is oriented towards the diagnostic approach, including manifestations suggesting the disease, diagnostic criteria, methods of diagnostic confirmation, and differential diagnosis, with an overview of management.

The second edition comprehensively reviews the wide field of rare pulmonary diseases. Issues such as less common diseases affecting the airways, systematic disorders with lung involvement, interstitial lung diseases, and many other orphan conditions of the lungs are explored in this book.

Readers will discover how to diagnose and manage these rare orphan diseases.Orphan Lung Diseases: A Clinical Guide to Rare Lung...
