Full Description
Dermatophytosis, also known as ringworm, is a fungal infection of the skin. Typically, it results in a red, itchy, scaly, circular rash. Hair loss may occur in the affected area.
This atlas is an image bank of more than 500 photographs presenting the clinical features of fungal infectious diseases.
Divided into 15 sections, the book covers fungal infections in different parts of the body, from scalp and face, trunk and limbs, to hand, nail, feet and groin.
Images are presented in alphabetical order, each with a brief description explaining the disease.
The book also covers fungal infections in specific sectors of the population - pregnant women, children, adolescents, and people who are immunocompromised.
Separate chapters are dedicated to steroid-modified disease and mimickers of dermatophytosis.
