Reihe: A Colour Handbook

This is a radically revised edition of a bestseller. It combines the advantages of a colour atlas with those of a concise textbook, and details the essential features of all but the very rarest skin diseases. The book provides the definition of each disease/disorder, clinical features, epidemiology, differential diagnosis, investigations and special points. Every opportunity is taken to illustrate variations in conditions that occur with age or racial group. The second edition now features treatment and management for each disease and disorder, has expanded or new sections for over 40 conditions and includes 100 new clinical colour photographs.

A Colour Handbook of Dermatology appeals to a wide range of readers: dermatologists in practice and training; post-registration trainees/residents in acute medicine; primary care physicians; specialist nurses and senior medical students.

Leseproben

Stuart Robertson and I had hoped that, if we omitted treatment from this little book,
then it would never need to be revised. We had underestimated the devotion of our
readership to the cause of making patients better. Giving in eventually to the pleas of
our publisher, our only stipulation was that we would need the help of a third editor.
And who better, we thought, than Sarah Wakelin, already an experienced author
in this field?
At the same time as this wholesale improvement, the opportunity was taken to
correct deficiencies in the coverage of skin disorders, including HIV infection, while
thoroughly revising the original text and illustrations. More than a hundred new
illustrations have thus been incorporated, provided very largely by the
indefatigable Stuart Robertson.
The result is an even more useful book than before, one that will be a dependable
guide to those starting out on dermatological training, whether doctors or nurses, as
well as to more experienced health professionals in other disciplines, including
general practice and occupational health.
I thank both my fellow editors for working with me so attentively to breathe new life
into the Colour Handbook.
