Diagnosis and Treatment of Skin Infections (Hardcover)


Despite the importance of infectious diseases in dermatology, there are no books that present the physician with a rational basis for treating these conditions. But skin infections are now receiving increased attention, due to the widespread availability of international travel, evolution of new (often drug-resistant) organisms and the spread of AIDS, which predisposes a patient to previously 'rare' conditions.
Professor Harahap has extensive experience with tropical skin diseases and has brought together a small, select group of contributors from around the world to contribute chapters on skin infections, the immunocompromised patient, infections in skin surgery, and the use of tropical antimicrobial agents. The emphasis throughout is on making the correct diagnosis and using effective treatment. Skin conditions are illustrated with both black and white and colour photographs. With the increasing internationality and worldwide travel of patient populations, tropical and 'exotic' illnesses are encountered with surprising frequency. This book therefore provides vital information about these infections and their therapies. This book offers an affordable and concise introduction to skin infections for the trainee dermatologist as well as for generalists and family practitioners.
