Description: "Inflammatory connective tissue diseases are often seen as confusing to neurologists, who are unlikely to know a great deal about their underlying pathology and biology. Rheumatologists, who are used to dealing with these diseases, often have a lack of understanding of the neurological syndromes involved. This being the case, any account of the neurology of inflammatory connective tissue diseases must arise from a collaboration between a neurologist and a rheumatologist or internist-clinical immunologist, as they will have an equal awareness of the difficulties involved." "Frans Jennekens and Louis Kater have done precisely this. Not only do they cover the neurological aspects and the autoantibodies and treatments connected to these diseases, but they also comprehensibly explain the clinical features, and the diagnosis and treatment of the various disorders."--BOOK JACKET.
