Rezensionen

"This book describes the pathophysiology of different drug rashes of different etiology with a special insight into drug hypersensitivity reactions. ... Those physicians (allergists, dermatologists, pathologists, etc.) who desire a more in-depth look at the interaction of drugs and the skin, as well as the underlying mechanisms that lead to cutaneous drug eruptions, will find in this book a comprehensive and up-to-date valuable medical reference." (Alberto Alvarez-Perea, World Allergy Organization WAO, worldallergy.org, January, 2016)

"This book discusses the underlying immunopathology and histology responsible for the patterns of drug rashes. ... The audience is dermatologists and primary care physicians. ... The authors do an outstanding job of helping track down the villainous drug. If you are interested in honing your Sherlock Holmes diagnostic skills, get this book. I plan to keep it close by." (Patricia Wong, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2015)
