Cystic Fibrosis
This comprehensive revision of the well-received first edition provides everything that a clinician treating patients with cystic fibrosis will need in a single volume.
It includes a substantial amount of new information ranging from advances in the basic scientific understanding of the condition, through to new treatment options and improvements in the delivery of care, both in the hospital and in the home. To reflect these developments, new chapters have been added on diagnostic genotype/phenotype correlations, screening, reproductive issues, surgery, quality of life and health economics, while other areas such as the organisation of home care have been expanded. The second edition also features increased input from leading authorities in North America, Europe and Australia and presents a truly international perspective which will establish the book as the essential reference in the field.
