Reviews

From the reviews:

“Organized by disease groups, this book reviews descriptions of pathophysiology, clinical presentations, diagnostic tests, therapies, and complications of skin disorders. Short discussions on variations in treatment unique to a country state the differences. Shaded summary boxes highlight important points throughout. … intended audience is clinical dermatologists. … This is a useful reference that stresses clinical treatment and provides a succinct background of pathophysiology and how this directs therapy without being overly didactic. … I found this book to be a useful reference for clinical dermatologists.” (Patricia Wong, Doody’s Review Service, November, 2010)
