Systemic Lupus Erythematosus cover

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (often abbreviated to SLE or lupus) is a systemic autoimmune disease that can affect any part of the body, causing the immune system to attack the body's cells and tissue, and resulting in inflammation and tissue damage. This new addition to the Oxford Rheumatology Library series provides a practical approach to the assessment and management of patients with this complex, multisystem autoimmune disease to improve the diagnosis and treatment of the disease and its complications. It provides comprehensive but easy to assimilate reading for consultant rheumatologists, dermatologists, nephrologists, obstetricians and other specialists and their trainees, interested GPs, specialist nurses, and clinical trial teams both in hospitals and contract research organizations.

This pocket-size volume on SLE is an essential tool for the practicing clinician. . . The layout is pleasing and each chapter has key points highlighted at the beginning. Chapters are easy to read with useful subheadings and plenty of tables and figures. * Dr. Vinod Ravindran, Indian Journal of Rheumatology *
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a small book that provides a comprehensive overview of the disease, from history and pathogenesis to treatment and management in special situations...it is a concise, easily read source for more information about SLE. * Jennifer Reynolds, The Journal of Rheumatology *
