Dermatological Differential Diagnosis and Pearls

By H. Eliot Y. Ghatan

This book contains essential dermatologic diagnostic information innovatively organized around traditionally classified skin lesions. Part One contains both a morphological and regional approach to the differential diagnosis of lesions, with diseases subclassified according to characteristics (vascular, infectious, and so on), as well as a separate section on pediatric differential diagnosis. Part Two, The Pearls, aids differentiation by providing new approaches to diagnosis. It groups skin diseases and lesions with other disorders and with systemic diseases, drug-related diseases, malignancies, and special conditions (nutritional disorders, pregnancy, and others). Part two also highlights the pathognomic features of diseases, common allergens, vectors, and incubation periods of diseases. The book's alphabetical arrangement within sections and carefully constructed subclassifications create a store of easily accessed, essential information for all dermatologists, including residents, clinicians, and academicians.
