Reviews

From the reviews:“This purpose is to present the most up-to-date information about Sjogren’s syndrome, its workup, extraglandular manifestations, and the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. … The audience includes medical students, residents, fellows, and practitioners, particularly rheumatologists and internal medicine practitioners. … This book is very thorough in describing Sjogren’s syndrome and its extensive manifestations. As a rheumatology fellow, I found the book very useful in learning all there is to know about Sjogren’s syndrome.” (Maria Gonzalez-Mayda, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2012)
