Infos

The new second edition of the Handbook of Psoriasis remains an
easy-to-read but detailed text on a common skin disease which
affects 2% of the world's population. The text is designed as a
reference for both the specialist and the primary care physician
and can be read cover-to-cover in a week. Each chapter stands alone
as a reference to a specific topic but is clearly cross-referenced
to offer a more detailed perspective.

This new edition runs the full gamut from pathogenesis to
clinical variants of psoriasis to individual treatments with
emphasis on standard protocols. Each chapter has been carefully
updated to reflect developments in the last five years and new
chapters cover such topics as childhood psoriasis, psoriatic
arthritis and biologic immunotherapy.

Rezensionen

"Several evenings reading this book in its entirety would be time
well spent." British Journal of Dermatology, Feb 1999

"Every dermatology unit should possess a copy of this
book."

Dermatology in Practice, Nov 2000

"It is as comprehensive as one would expect in relevant chapters
of major dermatology textbooks, with the added inclusion of
practical therapeutic tips, check lists and detailed
regimes.'

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 1998

"Camisa's new edition of the Handbook of Psoriasis will be a
very useful reference for doctors treating psoriasis patients.
Camisa originally published a hardcover reference book on psoriasis
in the early 1990s. This is the second edition of a handbook that
is designed as a companion to that original book. However, it is a
complete book in its own right and a comprehensive summary of
current knowledge about psoriasis and treatment of this condition
in dermatological medicine. All chapters are well cross-referenced
with recent literature articles, useful for a dermatologist wishing
to follow up a particular direction. The book has an updated review
on all conventional therapies and a final chapter on the new
biological agents. Such is the pace of development with these new
therapies that this final chapter almost seems dated. The chapter,
however, still contains an excellent summary of the differences and
similarities between these remarkable and new potential treatments
for psoriasis. This book is recommended as an inexpensive addition
to a dermatologist's library, providing a well-researched update of
recent literature on psoriasis."
