This book is a comprehensive compendium of current knowledge on inherited
and autoimmune blistering diseases that relates advances in our understanding
of the pathogenetic mechanisms to management of the individual diseases. The
aim is to provide a detailed reference for dermatologists who care for patients with
these conditions and a useful “one-stop information shop” for specialists outside of
dermatology. The book opens by describing the structure and biology of the epidermis
and basement membrane zone and discussing the genes and proteins that are targets
for mutations and autoantibodies. The role of the various diagnostic tests is explained,
and clinical manifestations of the specific diseases are presented with the aid of many
high-quality illustrations. The forms of treatment appropriate in specific conditions are
then described in depth, with coverage of dressings, drugs, surgical procedures, gene
therapy, and other novel approaches. Helpful algorithms are included both for testing and
monitoring and for treatment
