The first comprehensive monograph on rheumatoid arthritis in decades! Written by an expert - whose research for over 25 years has contributed much to the understanding of how joints are destroyed by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) - this book covers all aspects of the disease, from immunogenetics and immunosuppression to treatment.
