Rheumatologic Skin Disease

Posted On 2021-06-16 09:59:13


The content of the narrative reviews in this Series was designed to provide non-dermatologist readers with a better perspective on the value of clinical observation and translational research focused on the cutaneous manifestations of genetically-complex, environmentally-impacted and variably-expressed human illnesses such as the autoimmune connective tissue diseases.
