Description
For decades, thousands of clinicians have turned to Fitzpatrick's Dermatology in General Medicine for reliable help with making prompt and accurate evaluations of skin disorders, judicious use of laboratory procedures and appropriate treatment decisions.The 6th Edition continues to integrate the basic and clinical sciences and, like its predecessors, is encyclopaedic in its scope. The two volumes contain 280 chapters covering all aspects of the science and clinical care of the skin in both health and disease. Careful editing ensures ease of use and readability.Content has been updated and expanded throughout and many new chapters, on topics ranging from photo-immunology to retinoids and botox, have been added. It represents the expertise of over 300 of the world's most respected specialists - 50 of whom are new to this edition and provide a fresh and valuable perspective.In addition, 2,300 outstanding, full-colour photographs and hundreds of timesaving, information-at-a-glance tables enhance the text while scores of references facilitate further in-depth research.
