Description: "This book aims to provide a practical guide to managing all aspects of the psoriatic patient. It will provide a solid basis in the clinical features and etiology of the disease, to emphasize that this is not a simple disease for which one patient's experience can be extrapolated to another. This will be the springboard for discussing the range of management options for both the psoriatic symptoms themselves and also the comorbid conditions. Algorithms of diagnostic procedures and management protocols will be included where possible to provide helpful tools for daily practical care of patients"--Provided by publisher.
