Description

This reference serves as the most current and comprehensive source on the many aspects of sarcoidosis ranging from the basic science and pathophysiology of the disease to patient evaluation and treatment-providing a detailed analysis of the pulmonary aspects of the condition including chapters on radiographic manifestations, bronchoalveolar lavage research, pulmonary function studies, and proposed markers for the diagnosis and management of the disease.

Reviews

"…The book summarizes current understanding of the molecular and immunologic basis of sarcoidosis; further, it broadly surveys the prtean presentations of the disease which remains of unknown cause. It appears to be novel as a comprehensive work linking basic science to a broad all-inclusie array of clinical pulmonary medicine entities."

-Doody's Reviews
