Main description:

This comprehensive textbook provides physicians with a practical evidence-based framework to evaluate and manage patients suspected of having overlap disorders involving the integumentary, musculoskeletal and related systems.

The book discusses hallmark mucocutaneous features which support, and often specify, diagnosis, and it provides a summary of relevant multisystem examinations, serologic workup, and imaging. Interdisciplinary perspectives on treatment also facilitate a streamlined approach to referral and co-management. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Overlap Disorders in Dermatology & Rheumatology is a must-have resource for dermatologists, rheumatologists, internists, as well as students of medicine and trainees across medical specialties.
