Series: Rare Diseases of the Immune System

Behçet's syndrome can reasonably be considered a unique entity among diseases of the immune system for several reasons: It has specific features and, uniquely among the immune system pathologies, represents a link between autoimmune diseases, systemic vasculitis, and autoinflammatory diseases. In addition, it is of interest to a variety of specialists, including immunologists, rheumatologists, dermatologists, and ophthalmologists, and requires a complex multidisciplinary approach. Many aspects need to be considered in a syndrome that presents a wide spectrum of symptoms and for which the therapeutic armamentarium is expanding significantly, with the development of new treatments, not least the so-called biologics. This book offers comprehensive coverage of the disease by some of the world’s leading experts in Behçet's syndrome from all the relevant specialties. Epidemiology, genetics, pathogenesis, organ system involvement, differential diagnosis, novel treatments, surgical management,and prognosis are just some of the topics addressed. Behçet's Syndrome: From Pathogenesis to Treatment will be an invaluable reference for a range of practitioners, researchers, and undergraduates or postgraduates interested in immuno-rheumatology, dermatology, and rare diseases.

Reviews for Behçet's Syndrome: From Pathogenesis to Treatment

From the book reviews: “This collection meets the objective of bringing information on Behcet’s syndrome together in one place, and is the most recent of all efforts to do so. It is most appropriate for rheumatologists and other subspecialists who are treating these patients and who are interested in reviewing the clinical characteristics of this protean disorder, as this information makes up the bulk of the book.” (Tiphanie Vogel, Doody’s Book Reviews, September, 2014)
