The new 4th edition of Goodheart’s Photoguide to Common Pediatric and Adult Skin Disorders has continued to improve on the the concept of using photos of skin diseases to help clinicians to recognize skin diseases in their office or clinic. The chapters allow one to identify sets of skin diseases , to think of differential diagnoses, to determine possible diagnostic procedures and then treat these disorders. It is an essential and handy guide to clinicians in Family Practice, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.This new edition has expanded to eleven chapters in Pediatrics. The expanded photos allow one to compare and contrast possible diagnoses with one's own patient’s clinical findings.
In the adult sections there are helpful sections on treating eczema,psoriasis ,skin infections as well as such difficult clinical common adult problems as pruritis and xerosis. The third section has uptodate reviews of HIV , Pregnancy and the cutaneous manifestations of systemic diseases.
This book comes with an EBook downloaded to your computer or IPad. The Ebook photos are remarkably clear and vivid. Each section also has detailed and useful patient handouts for treatment in English and Spanish. Skin Diseases represent over 20 percent of problems of patients seen by clinicians in family medicine internal medicine and pediatrics in their clinical practice. Goodheart’s Photoguide will give them a incredibly useful tool to start evaluating and treating their patients skin problems before dermatologic help is available. If I were not a dermatologist this is the most useful clinical reference book I would keep at my side.
