Beschreibung:
Pruritus is an itching sensation that triggers the desire to scratch. It's a distressing symptom that can cause severe discomfort. Scratching may cause breaks in the skin that may result in infection. Pruritus can be related to anything from dry skin to undiagnosed cancer. It can occur chronically in people who have cancer or in those who have received cancer treatment as well as patients with non-malignant terminal illnesses.Pruritus in Advanced Disease is a practical, evidence-base book written principally for the non-dermatologist. It is a guide for making a diagnosis and planning treatment, bridging the gap between different specialties: dermatology, internal medicine, haematology, oncology, palliative medicine and general practice.
