science, mechanism of action, preparation, and practical
considerations. Each chapter includes in-depth discussion,
technical pearls, and practical tips for incorporating specific
techniques into clinical practice. Part three focuses on special
topics including applications and safety in skin of color,
combination therapies, and managing complications. Key Highlights

Immunofluorescence is a key diagnostic tool in dermatopathology,
and essential in the diagnosis of connective tissue diseases,
vasculitis and other cutaneous disorders. The need to interpret the
results of immunofluorescence testing, and correlate these with
histopathological results, is a key skill required not just of
dermatopathologists but also, increasingly, of dermatologists who
either read the slides themselves or use a pathology lab or
academic referral centre. Handbook of Direct Immunofluorescence
covers not only day-to-day findings but also less common patterns
and rarities, and gives information on important diagnostic
pitfalls. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific disease and is
introduced by concise text that describes the clinical presentation
and pathogenesis: then, multiple images show the range of
histopathological and immunofluorescence findings associated with
the disease in question. Key points Practical, clinically oriented
coverage provides invaluable resource for dermato-, oral and
general pathologists, as well as dermatologists Includes invaluable
information on technical aspects (specimen procurement,
transportation, etc) as well as guidance on interpreting
histopathological and immunofluorescence findings Pattern-based
approach serves as logical framework for reaching a diagnosis, as
well as understanding when to order additional tests and how to
recognise nonspecific findings
