Management of Blistering Diseases

The blistering diseases, although relatively uncommon, are of major clinical and scientific importance. Patients with these diseases can present great difficulties in diagnosis and management. The bullous diseases are life-threatening and many patients perish either from their disease or from complications of therapy. They may present to dermatologists, general physicians, paeditricians, oral surgeons, dentists, otolaryngologists and ophthalmologists. All of these specialities may be involved in their management. This book places emphasis both on the practical management and on the major advances of the past decade.
