Interstitial lung disease

Description:

"Hailed as the standard, preferred reference of practitioners worldwide, Interstitial Lung Disease now emerges in its new Fourth Edition. Since the third edition, substantial progress has been made on the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis, and several international consensus panels have issued new definitions of diagnosis, evaluation, and management of interstitial lung disease. Recently it has been emphasized that the attending physician should render a final diagnosis only after the pulmonologist, radiologist, and pathologist have reviewed all clinical, radiologic, and pathologic data on the patient, and the Fourth Edition focuses on this multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis. Interstitial Lung Disease, Fourth Edition is greatly expanded with new chapters, and existing chapters have been revised extensively. An abundance of tables, illustrations, and added references make the Fourth Edition a potent clinical tool. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
