From the reviews: <p> Three dermapathologists have gathered available information on skin diseases that could have fatal outcomes. a ] Each chapter begins with a box highlighting key information. This is followed by text and references. a ] the current authors are to be commended for creating a book that could be a useful source for the physician-in-training and for clinicians dealing with seriously ill or potentially seriously ill patients. (Lawrence Charles Parish, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 298 (10), 2007) <p> This book offers a review of a wide variety of dermatologic disorders that can lead to death of the patient. Each disease entity begins with a summary table for quick reference. a ] It is written for dermatologists, pathologists, and general practitioners, as well as dermatology and pathology residents and appears to be appropriate for that audience. a ] This book will prove valuable for residents just learning dermatology as well for busy clinicians needing a quick reminder of disease characteristics or associations.
