Recenzje

From the reviews:

"The book offers an outline for thinking about the differential diagnosis for serious skin diseases one would not want to miss. ... The audience is emergency room physicians, dermatologists, and residents. ... The color photographs are overall quite good quality. ... The authors have compiled important dermatologic diseases that both dermatology residents and physicians who are not dermatologists need to be aware of. ... It is a useful outline for nondermatologists and medical students and residents seeking an introduction to potential life-threatening skin conditions." (Patricia Wong, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2013)

Blurb

The term “dermatologic emergency” is
rarely used, and a dermatologist is typically
not the first physician called when a
patient presents to the emergency department.
However, largely under-recognized
dermatoses can be life-threatening if not
diagnosed and treated in a timely fashion.
Buka’s Emergencies in Dermatology addresses
the need for a concise, portable
reference that can be used by emergency
personnel, dermatologists and
resident-physicians.

This text, heavily illustrated with color
images, proves to be especially critical if a
community-based hospital does not have
a dermatology department and the responsibility
for initial diagnosis falls to the
emergency room or critical care physician.
While the vast majority of cutaneous
outbreaks are not life-threatening, those that are
can go unrecognized with devastating consequences.
Buka’s Emergencies in Dermatology addresses
this concern and focuses on the
most critical issues in cutaneous emergencies, from
neonatal and pediatric emergencies,
to infectious emergencies and drug eruptions.
