Sommario/riassunto

Sjögren’s Syndrome is slowly being recognised as one of the most common auto-immune diseases, and considered pivotal in the spectrum of auto-immune disorders.  Sjögren’s Syndrome in Clinical Practice is a unique, concise book which explores important insights into Sjögren’s links with other conditions and devotes itself to shedding new light on this disease. Aimed at young medics but also suitable for the informed lay reader, physicians and pharma, Sjögren’s Syndrome in Clinical Practice will help with the diagnosis and treatment of this increasingly recognised disorder.
