Produktbeschreibung

Sarcoidosis represents a major challenge for physicians-not just in respiratory medicine, but across a range of specialties. With a multidisciplinary authorship of the highest standard, this book presents the most up-to-date thinking on all aspects of this condition, from epidemiology to clinical manifestations and treatment options. The contributors evaluate in detail the basic science that underlies the disease, describe the disease progression, and place it in a clinical context. The book also explores possible future advances in treatment.
