4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not for the general reader, May 25, 2003
This review is from: Hughes Syndrome: Antiphospholipid Syndrome (Paperback)
Not long ago, my wife was diagnosed with Hughes Syndrome, or antiphospholipid syndrome, and I set out to understand this condition. This book is a textbook that is highly technical in nature, and is not intended for the casual reader. It is composed of 45 chapters, organized into six sections: 1) clinical aspects, 2) laboratory investigation, 3) basic aspects, 4) therapy, 5) differential diagnosis, and 6) prognosis. Each of these chapters is written by a leading physician or researcher, or even by a team.

As you might expect from a textbook, this book is highly informative for the medical specialist, but is likely to leave the casual reader (such as myself) behind. Don't get me wrong, there is a great deal of interesting information in this book, and it is well worth reading, but I do not recommend it to the general reader. Overall I thought that this is a good book, but I give it a very guarded recommendation.
