This concise and portable resource synthesizes the most important items for work-up, differential diagnosis, and treatment of dermatologic issues in the hospitalized patient. Each chapter provides concise, bulleted, easy-to-read-and-reference, key material to help physicians diagnose and differentiate the dermatologic diseases that occur in the inpatient setting and each brief chapter is focused on one specific inpatient dermatologic condition, with carefully curated clinical photographs and corresponding histopathologic images to aid readers in developing clinical-pathologic correlation and pattern-recognition for these entities. Complete with hundreds of clinical and pathology images, the authors have provided a list of essential differential diagnoses which are important to consider, and a day-one, initial work-up and management plan for each condition. The sections are preceded by diagnostic pearls from the editors, where they share their approach to these often-challenging conditions. This book is not a comprehensive textbook covering the breadth of dermatology; the focus is to guide point-of-care physicians as they are confronted with skin problems in hospitalized patients. The initial workup presented is detailed and designed to help clinicians narrow their differential and hone-in on a specific diagnosis and treatment plan. While other books on this subject are broad-based and provide overviews of several dermatologic conditions, this is commonly overwhelming for clinicians outside of dermatology. Therefore, Inpatient Dermatology is the go-to pocket guide for the experienced physician, as well as dermatology, emergency room, and internal medicine residents and medical students, making even the more complex dermatologic issues palatable for clinicians.
