Thoroughly revised and updated for its Sixth Edition, Dubois' "Lupus Erythematosus" remains the definitive reference on this disease. More than sixty distinguished authorities provide comprehensive coverage of every aspect of cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus -including definition, classification, epidemiology, pathogenesis, autoantibodies, clinical and laboratory features, management, prognosis, and patient education. This edition's clinically oriented chapters include timely information on the new classification for lupus, undifferentiated connective tissue disease, biologic therapies, cox-2 interventions, clinical trial methodologies, and outcomes research. Completely rewritten basic science sections reflect recent findings on genetics, inflammatory mediator biology, cytokine physiology, cell signaling, and newly described animal models and autoantibodies. This is a Brandon-Hill recommended title.
