Abstract
Sjögren’s Syndrome: Diagnosis and Therapeutics provides a thorough, multisystemic overview of the clinical manifestations of Sjögren’s Syndrome. It contains chapters pertinent across the range of medical specialties that may encounter Sjögren’s Syndrome cases. Chapters are specialty-specific, for easy reference by the relevant medical specialist.
In addition to being a diagnostic guide, Sjögren’s Syndrome: Diagnosis and Therapeutics  includes a section on prognosis and outcomes of Sjögren’s Syndrome patients and provides an exhaustive therapeutic update, focused on new agents and experimental techniques. The inclusion of diagnostic/therapeutic algorithms illustrates the text with clinical photographs of the main organs involved and helps the reader to make guided diagnostic and therapeutic decisions through decision-based algorithms.
