Reviews

From the reviews:

“This is a concise guidebook for diagnosing, managing, and treating patients with ankylosing spondylitis. … It is pocket sized and really can be a day-to-day reference for the learning clinician. … this book is a great guide for training internists or rheumatologists who have modest experience with these patients. … seasoned rheumatologists will appreciate the attempt to explain new classification systems, diagnostic criteria, and treatment options which have changed significantly over the past decade. … This is a great book (an easy read) … .” (Lesley M. Davila, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2011)
