Full Description
Rheumatologists frequently confront infections that complicate, mimic, or arise from the treatment of autoimmune disease, demanding careful distinction from disease flare and thoughtful management of immunosuppression. Infectious disease specialists express a reciprocal need: deepening their understanding of immune dysregulation, immunomodulatory therapies, and the systemic manifestations that shape outcomes in rheumatic disease.
Led by an international team of editors with in-depth knowledge and informed by cutting-edge research, this volume in the Interdisciplinary Rheumatology series brings the two disciplines into dialogue, offering a nuanced, expert synthesis at the interface of autoimmunity and infection.
Key Features:
Provides a clinical approach to the patient with infectious disease manifestations of rheumatic disease
Details cutting-edge research with inputs from the world's leading experts, for infectious disease specialists and rheumatologists
Discusses possible future directions for research and advancement
