Description
Many diseases of the skin look very similar and malignant diseases can often look like other, non-life threatening diseases. Since accurate diagnosis is an essential part of the dermatologist's job there is a need for a logically arranged visual guide to differential diagnosis, to help the difficult clinical decision-making process.Most books on differential diagnosis focus on regional dermatology or groups of diseases, so that they group the characteristics of disease into major diagnostic categories and then they arrive at the diagnosis. This book is different from all other books and it is much easier to use. The content is logically organised, diseases are compared and contrasted on an easy-to-use table of common and distinguishing features" which highlights the diseases they are most likely to be compared with. The diseases are then examined in more detail in a discussion section that looks at history, anatomical and geographic distribution, clinical findings, pathology, distinguishing features and brief coverage of treatments.
Both common and rarer skin diseases are included, with over 500 colour photographs, so the dermatologist can feel confident that all potential presentations are covered."
