Uveitis and Immunological Disorders (Essentials in Ophthalmology)

Description

Designed to provide the ophthalmologist with an understanding of the pathogenesis of the most frequent immune-mediated disorders of the eye and a practical approach to these diseases and to fill the gap between textbooks and original research publications. With a broad spectrum of contributions, including diseases affecting the conjunctiva, sclera and cornea as well as intraocular inflammation, this publication will serve not only as a valuable source of up-to-date information for ophthalmologists but also be of interest to pediatricians, specialists in internal medicine and dermatologists confronted with inflammatory eye diseases. Although mainly focused on clinical aspects of inflammatory eye diseases, several contributions address aspects such as immune mechanisms and genetics of these diseases.
