<p><b>Practical and user-friendly, this is the ideal guide to the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis, helping you navigate a logical management pathway through a complex maze of possibilities.<br /><br /></b>Psoriasis is a cruel disease that can seriously affect the sufferer’s quality and length of life. It is also highly idiosyncratic, with features that vary greatly from patient to patient; this being mirrored in the highly variable response to treatment. It is increasingly recognized that psoriasis is not a discrete disease and that many patients suffer two or three comorbid conditions that can complicate the efforts of doctors treating patients.<br /><br /><i>Psoriasis: Diagnosis and Management</i> will provide dermatologists of all levels with a practical, well-illustrated approach to fully understanding the disease, including clear, clinical guidance to enable best-practice and effective management of patients.<br /><br />In full color throughout and excellently illustrated, key highlights include:</p> <ul> <li>easily understandable description of the psoriasis pathogenesis;</li> <li>a strong emphasis on the clinical features of psoriasis;</li> <li>careful consideration of comorbid conditions as part of the psoriatic spectrum to be managed;</li> <li>coverage of both traditional and contemporary management approaches;</li> <li>plenty of diagnostic algorithms and management protocols to aid the daily practical care of patients.</li> </ul> <p>Brought to you by several of the world’s leading authorities on the subject, <i>Psoriasis: Diagnosis and Management</i> is an essential purchase for the dermatologist.</p>
