Product Description

Product Description

"Should serve as a standard against which all future atlases will be measured."--New England Journal of Medicine, on a previous edition. This trusted, best selling color atlas presents a wide array of skin conditions, from the most common to life-threatening melanoma and HIV/AIDS. Retains its easy-to-use format that depicts each disease entity, then thoroughly describes the disorder with a brief overview: epidemiology and etiology; history; physical exam; differential diagnosis; laboratory findings; diagnosis; and management. Now features dozens of new and improved illustrations, current management strategies, an updated two-color design, and case reports where appropriate. Unsurpassed for its low price, extensive use of superb color illustrations, and ease of use by health care professionals at all levels.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent photo reference, Jun 10 2011
This review is from: Fitzpatrick's Color Atlas & Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology: Fifth Edition (Paperback)
I purchased this book for my boyfriend, who is a sculptor specializing in Halloween masks. I wanted a book with a great number of visual references, for him to refer to while designing monsters. He was thrilled with the book and its numerous high quality colour pictures, and has immediately set to making three new sculpts! We would definitely recommend Fitzpatrick's to any artist looking for reference images.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT REFERENCE BOOK, Feb 24 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Color Atlas & Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology (Paperback)
I have used this book throughout 2 years of medical school and it is one of the best dermatology references I have come across. It has also been a quick review for the the path seen with derm since the pictures are so clear and give a good representation of the path. An easy book to skim through before boards as well.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Color Atlas & Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading this book as a layperson, not having gone to medical school. I have a number of minor skin problems and this book allowed me to differentiate the insignificant ones from the ones I need to pay attention to. I think that this book should be in every household, because a person or parent should know what skin affliction(s) they have and how serious they are before they rush off to the doctor. One thing that should have been elaborated on more is the sub-section on The Nails as Clues to Multiorgan Disease. There are only a few pages of examples of this, yet there are dozens of correlations between abnormal fingernails and systemic disease. The book only gives blantant and graphic examples of serious nail problems and then gives the possible associated underlying disease. It should be expanded to include more "soft sign" nail problems to help doctors make educated guesses about what tests to run.
