Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"The purpose is to aid pediatric dermatologists in generating accurate differential diagnoses when presented with skin conditions in children. ... This is a useful introductory book to pediatric dermatology. It provides an accurate and easy approach to assess similarly appearing dermatoses with reasonable confidence of achieving the correct diagnosis. Readers could quickly look up a differential to confirm a diagnosis, assuming they are knowledgeable enough to identify the appropriate type of condition(s)."
