Handbook of Dermatology for Primary Care: A Practical Guide to Diagnosis

The updated second edition of this handbook offers an effective approach to diagnosing and treating skin conditions. Written for medical students, primary care doctors, family practitioners, and nurses in primary care and outlying clinics in southern Africa, it includes: more than 270 colour photographs reflecting the diversity of southern Africa's population and health conditions; an extensively revised section on morphological patterns and a section on the regional distribution of the conditions, so that a diagnosis can be made from either starting point; an alphabetical section describing the aetiology and clinical features of more than 100 common skin disorders; a formulary giving more detailed information about a range of treatments; an expanded section on HIV/AIDS related skin disorders; and expanded and revised diagnostic tables.
