Systemic Disease and the Nasal Airway

This book was written to provide a comprehensive review of systemic diseases that have important influences on nasal function. The purpose of the book is twofold: first, to show the effects of systemic diseases on the nasal airway so that the effects of these diseases on the nose & paranasal sinuses can be better understood & treated - second, to provide a reference for non-otolaryngologists describing a group of systemic diseases that may be first diagnosed by their nasal manifestations. The text focuses on a group of systemic diseases of various categories that are often not treated in a comprehensive manner in most otolaryngology or rhinology texts, & whose treatment in general medical texts often lacks in-depth discussion of the rhinologic aspects of the disease.McCaffrey, Thomas V. is the author of 'Systemic Disease and the Nasal Airway', published 1993 under ISBN 9780865774667 and ISBN 0865774668.
