5.0 out of 5 stars PEDIATRIC DERMATOLOGY, March 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Color Atlas of Pediatric Dermatology (Hardcover)

THIS TEXT IS AN EXCELLENT REFERENCE FOR THE NEW AS WELL AS THE EXPERIENCED PRACTITIONER. IT ILLUSTRATES BOTH THE COMMON AND RARER SKIN DISORDERS AND LESIONS. THE SECTIONS ON VIRAL AND BULLOUS INFECTIONS ARE INVALUABLE IN ESTABLISHING A DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. SECTIONS ON HIV AND MISCELLANEOUS MANIFESTATIONS HELP TO ESTABLISH A DIAGNOSIS FOR THOSE NEW TO PRACTICE. THE FULL COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS AND FIGURES PROVIDE BOTH VISUAL AND DIDACTIC DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DISORDERS. A DEFINITE MUST HAVE IN EVERY REFERENCE LIBRARY
