Pediatric Dermatology

Summary: Pediatric dermatology
Review: This heavy textbook in pediatric dermatology is edited by professors Lawrence A Schachner from University of Maimi School of Medicine and Ronald C Hansen from the University of Arizona School of Medicine with five associate editors and 85 international contributors.
It is a beautiful textbook divided into eight parts: Basic science, neonatal and inherited disorders, diseases of mucous membranes, reaction patterns, neoplasms and systemic diseases, infections and infestations, injuries, and drug eruptions with a total of 30 chapters.
Every chapter and entry has a logical and extensive explanation with wonderful layout and color illustrations in a very instructive way, so that I can only without any reservation recommend this text as a resourcebook for every practising pediatrician. I would also suggest that every pediatric department should have this book in its library. A CD-ROM presents the more than 1,200 color pictures for slide presentations.
