Full Description
Written specifically for the nonspecialist, Skin Disease, 5th Edition, offers precisely the diagnostic and treatment information you need to quickly identify the 250 skin disorders you're most likely to see. Concise and user-friendly, it's an ideal resource for any medical practitioner who'd rather treat than refer patients with skin disease, as well as an excellent review for board preparation. An expert author team, led by Dr Dinulos, carries on the tradition of excellence established by Dr. Thomas Habif to bring you a practical reference known for its high-quality images and easy-to-follow text.
Offers concise, practical, day-to-day diagnostic and treatment information for the conditions you're most likely to encounter.
Includes key updates throughout: a completely rewritten pediatric dermatology section, a fully updated drug formulary, and two new chapters on Disorders in Skin of Color and Tropical Dermatology and Emerging Infectious Disease.
Contains more than 1,300 high-quality images that clearly depict how skin disorders present at different stages.
Provides classification of primary, secondary, and special lesions, pediatric considerations, clinical pearls to guide decision making, and more.
Includes features that provide rapid access to essential clinical information: a Disorders Index at the front of the book, a dermatologic drug formulary, and "differential diagnosis by anatomical region and lesion" guide.
Contains easy-to-understand schematics that indicate disease distribution across the body (from rare to common) for each key disorder.
Other titles by Dr Dinulos include best-selling products Dermatology DDX Deck for at-a-glance diagnostics and Habif's Clinical Dermatology for a more in-depth introduction to dermatology for the non-specialist.
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date.
