Acute Adult Dermatology

This book aims to serve as a comprehensive reference on acute dermatology and is designed to encourage a structured and thorough clinical technique. The sections have been written so that essential information about each disease is summarised in a clear and concise way. Each condition described and discussed is illustrated by clinical pictures. It is hoped that this book will enable all medical staff seeing patients with acute skin problems to practice more effectively. It is aimed at primary care physicians, nurse specialists, emergency department staff and dermatologists. It should also appeal to the general physician who is interested in dermatology.
