From disease patterns, prognosis and risks to treatment, this book provides a comprehensive approach for the role of the lung in autoimmune diseases and the influence of autoimmune disease on the lung’s functionality. In recent years, there is increasing knowledge in the field, including lung infection in early disease stages, mechanisms involved in lung damage, and new treatments. Recognition of lung involvement and implementation of some specific therapies is an important issue for clinicians dealing with systemic autoimmune diseases.
- Provides a comprehensive review of the different patterns of pulmonary involvement in systemic autoimmune diseases
- Describes new, targeted therapies for the treatment of systemic autoimmune diseases, including anti-fibrotics, biologics and vasodilators
- Gives insights on the prognosis of patients suffering from systemic autoimmune diseases
- Depicts better definitions of types of lung involvement in patients with an underlying systemic autoimmune disease
Immunologists, rheumatologists, haematologists, cardiologists, post graduate students and those working in autoimmune diseases, general medicine and hospital/pharmaceutical management. Pulmonologists, Medical/scientific management and pharmaceutical companies
