Description

Lupus erythematosus is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by a wide spectrum of manifestations with variable evolution. This book is based on multidisciplinary knowledge and is written by leading clinicians and scientists. It provides not only a comprehensive description of the vast variety of cutaneous abnormalities but also a synthesis of the relationship between cutaneous and systemic changes, including chapters on clinical aspects, pathology and management of this disease.

First Sentence
