Recenzje

From the reviews:

"The purpose is to aid pediatric dermatologists in generating accurate differential diagnoses when presented with skin conditions in children. ... This is a useful introductory book to pediatric dermatology. It provides an accurate and easy approach to assess similarly appearing dermatoses with reasonable confidence of achieving the correct diagnosis. Readers could quickly look up a differential to confirm a diagnosis, assuming they are knowledgeable enough to identify the appropriate type of condition(s)." (Patricia Wong, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2013)

Differential diagnosis in pediatric dermatology requires not only a direct experience in the field, but also an inclination to symptoms observations and analysis.This book, the first exclusively devoted  to this topic,  covers the full range of relevant conditions: inherited skin disorders; nevi; viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections; acne; allergic diseases; autoimmune skin disorders; connective tissue diseases; tumors; and miscellaneous conditions. Each chapter addresses the differential diagnosis between two (or occasionally three or four) dermatological conditions. All chapters are just two pages long, containing between two and six images and a very short text emphasizing the clinical differences between the diseases in question. At the end of each chapter, a summary highlights one or two characteristics essential for the differential diagnosis. The volume will represent an ideal tool for pediatric dermatologists, pediatricians, and GPs, and will help them in the diagnosic process.​
