|
|
As the first comprehensive reference on all aspects of the
histiocytic disorders, Histiocytic Disorders of Children and Adults
stands
out as the definitive text on the genetics, pathophysiology, and
clinical management of this wide range of diseases. The chapters,
written by acknowledged experts in the field, cover all aspects of
hystiocytic disorders, from Langerhans cell histiocytosis and
hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, to the uncommon cutaneous and
extracutaneous histiocytic disorders. Current views on the function of
normal histiocytes in the immune system, the pathogenesis, underlying
genetic defects, clinical presentation, treatment, controversies in
therapy, salvage therapies and the late consequences are discussed in
detail. This book will be a valuable resource to clinicians and
researchers who wish to learn more about histiocytic disorders.
• An up to date resource for all physicians treating adults or children
with a histiocytic disorder • Written by leading experts in the field •
Provides a practical approach to diagnosis, treatment and management.
