Atlas of Clinical Dermatology in Coloured Skin : A Morphological Approach

This Atlas of Dermatology has a unique clinical orientation and lays emphasis on morphology. The disease entities are arranged according to the morphology of lesions, not etiologically. This pattern of placement is more useful for both teaching and learning and serves as an important aid in making a diagnosis as this approach is based on the way patients present themselves in out-patient departments. The key diagnostic clinical pointers too have been provided with images, which helps one suspect the diagnosis and exclude clinical differentials. This Atlas would serve as a ready reckoner for residents and practitioners. Key Features ● An atlas and text covering skin, mucosa, hair and nail diseases in skin of color ● Emphasis on key diagnostic clinical pointers ● 3000+ clinical images--multiple images of a disease to cover the clinical spectrum ● Dedicated section on Regional Dermatology and Skin changes in systemic diseases ● Clinician’s desk reference for OPD practice Cover Half Title Title Page Copyright Page Dedication Contents Foreword by Debabrata Bandyopadhyay Foreword by Eckart Haneke Preface Acknowledgements Editors Assistant editors Contributors SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION TO CLINICAL DERMATOLOGY E1.
