Infections remain the leading cause of death worldwide and as new
antibiotics are developed organisms develop mechanisms of resistance.
Successful treatment of skin infections relies on accurate and swift
diagnosis and visual inspection remains the most important means to
that end. This book aims to provide a pictorial guide to the diagnosis
of common bacterial, fungal, and viral skin infections, as well as
recognition of arthropods of medical importance. The text is divided
into chapters by class of organism, and in each chapter by clinical
entity. It will be of lasting value to dermatologists in practice
and training, and to general physicians/practitioners interested in
dermatology.
Contents: Introduction, 1. Bacterial Infections, 2. Viral Infections,
3. Fungal Infections, 4. Tropical Infections, 5. Arthropods and Infestations,
