Organ transplantation has been successfully performed over the last 35 years and the number of organ allograft recipients is steadily increasing.
Long-term immunosuppression, necessary for good graft function, inevitably induces undesired effects (particularly infections and neoplasctic ones) among which cutaneous oones are very frequent and potentially life-threatening.
This book deals with all aspects of cutaneous disorders that may be encountered in the setting of organ transplantation.
It reflects the pioneering work performed since long by Dermatoloogists in Lyon, in collaboration with teams specialised in kidney, heart, lungs, liver and pancreas transplantation.
A truly exceptional book entirely written in English.
