Full Description
DIAGNOSIS OF ONYCHOMYCOSIS AND OTHER NAIL DISORDERS will serve as a
diagnostic guide for dermatologists, primary care physicians and
residents in terms of identifying both the symptoms of various nail
diseases and their etiologies. Written by a highly respected and well
-known dermatologist, this volume employs the use of 4-color
photographs and limited text to assist the audience in distinguishing
the various types of nail diseases including: inflammatory nail
disorders, traumatic nail disorders, and local infections. Due to the
increasing frequency of nail infections, and the difficulties often
encountered in treating them, this practical manual will become a
valuable tool for practitioners.
