Fifty Dermatological Cases

The skin is often the first organ to show that a serious disease exists in the body. Too often, clues from the skin are missed or neglected when diagnosing patients. In this fascinating treatise, fifty cases show such missed opportunities as well as extraordinary examples of how the skin can react to disease and stimuli. From dog bites that would not heal to the fingernails' reaction to lethargy and the effect of a vegan diet, 50 Cases in Dermatological Medicine reminds the reader of the astonishing signals the human body sends when health is threatened. This book is key for students, residents, and professionals in dermatology, and for any health care practitioner who wants to apply the lessons learned.
