Reviews
“This treatise is both a concise and comprehensive distillation of knowledge from a highly experienced pemphigus specialist. Whether its current views on pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis or therapeutic strategies, this monograph is packed full of helpful advice and pearls of wisdom. This monograph would be equally useful either as a great learning resource for students as well as a detailed reference for seasoned practitioners.” – <strong>M. Peter Marinkovich, MD, Associate Professor, Department of Dermatology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, USA</strong>
“Dr. Chan has created a review of pemphigus that will be valued by both the expert and the novice. He chronicles a rich history and clinical application of scientific exploration. He synthesizes both clinical and laboratory information into a coherent understanding of pathogenesis and approach to treatment. This lofty objective can only be achieved by an experienced physician who is dedicated to science and to patient care.” – <strong>John J. Zone, MD, Professor and Chairman, Department of Dermatology, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA</strong>
