Pediatrics in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases

Rheumatic diseases in children are different from their adult counterpart not only because children are not "small adults" but also because often the diseases themselves are different. This book provides a thorough description of the etiopathogenesis, presentation, course, differential diagnosis, and management of all the main rheumatic disorders that can occur in children. Each chapter is written by specific experts who have contributed personally to increase knowledge in the specific field. It may represent a very useful guide for the practicing physician. Book jacket.
