Now in its Fifth Edition, Crofton and Douglas’s Respiratory
Diseases has firmly established itself as the leading clinical
textbook on diseases of the chest.
Presented, for the first time, as a two-volume set, this classic
text has been completely rewritten and greatly expanded. Extensive
revisions ensure that these volumes present an up-to-date review of
all aspects of lung disease
. The contributions of some 18 leading authorities ensure that
each area is comprehensively covered and new to this edition are
chapters on the genetics of lung disease, smoking, air pollution,
sleep apnoea, diving, lung transplantation and medico-legal
aspects. The changes in content reflect the pace of change in the
areas concerned not only in terms of understanding of the disease
processes but also their treatment. The single chapter on asthma
that appeared in previous editions, has now been expanded into
three chapters covering epidemiology, mechanisms and management,
reflecting the enormous research effort currently underway
following a marked increase in the incidence of this disease in
recent years.
This new edition continues to provide an excellent reference
both for the trainee and specialist in respiratory medicine, as
well as the general physician. It will be extremely useful on the
ward and in the office, where clinical problems arise and questions
are asked which need clear answers.
