"This third volume of "Uveitis and Immunological Disorders" in "Essentials in Ophthalmology" provides up-to-date, relevant information for the reader. Our knowledge and understanding of immune mechanisms has increased exponentially over the past few years and has expanded to disorders such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. This volume will provide the ophthalmologist with practical information on how to diagnose and treat these difficult, and in some cases, blinding disorders. In addition, there are important discussions of the mechanisms underlying these conditions, which incorporate the most recent, up-to-date research material available. 'Summary for the Clinician' and 'Core Messages' sections enhance the value of each chapter. This volume was written by authors who are leaders in their field. Important and provocative questions dealing with recent developments are raised. Topics covered include: To do or not to do? HLA typing in keratoplasty; Acute anterior uveitis and HLA-B27: what is new? Keratouveitis: new aspects on diagnosis and management; Steroid sensitivity in uveitis; Is Behcet's retinal vasculitis different from idiopathic retinal vasculitis? Is the diagnosis important in sight-threatening non-infectious uveitis? Uveitis and multiple sclerosis: is there a real link? Inflammation and AMD: what is the evidence? Diabetic retinopathy: an inflammatory disorder? and, Pathophysiology and its consequences.This highly practical and clinically relevant volume is valuable to all those involved in the handling and treatment of patients with ocular inflammation. In addition, it provides fresh perspectives and insights into our current understanding of common disorders such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration."

"Provides the ophthalmologist with our present understanding of the pathogenesis of the most frequent immune-mediated disorders of the eye and a practical approach to these diseases. With a broad spectrum of contributions, including diseases affecting the conjunctiva, sclera and cornea as well as intraocular inflammation, this publication is a source of up-to-date information for ophthalmologists or anyone confronted with inflammatory eye diseases. Although mainly focused on clinical aspects of inflammatory eye diseases, several contributions address aspects such as immune mechanisms and genetics of these diseases."

"This volume of 'Essentials in Ophthalmology' examines the pathogenesis of the most frequent immune-mediated disorders of the eye and practical approaches to these diseases. It provides up-to-date information for ophthalmologists, paediatricians, specialists in internal medicine and dermatologists confronted with inflammatory eye diseases."@en
"Designed to provide the ophthalmologist with an understanding of the pathogenesis of the most frequent immune-mediated disorders of the eye and a practical approach to these diseases and to fill the gap between textbooks and original research publications. With a broad spectrum of contributions, including diseases affecting the conjunctiva, sclera and cornea as well as intraocular inflammation, this publication will serve not only as a valuable source of up-to-date information for ophthalmologists but also be of interest to pediatricians, specialists in internal medicine and dermatologists confronted with inflammatory eye diseases. Although mainly focused on clinical aspects of inflammatory eye diseases, several contributions address aspects such as immune mechanisms and genetics of these diseases."
