Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology, 2/e

by Thomas Bernard Fitzpatrick, Richard Allen Johnson

"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.

[Nancy Foster · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am quite certain I have read this book over 20 years ago and it was a Spanish edition. I am unsure if I ever slogg through the entire 1000+ pages, mostly I recall the book is photograph heavy and there isn't that much text. I remember images were clear, high quality. Descriptions were concise, and the Spanish translation easy to understand. I still remember some haunting photos that literally gave me nightmares. This book is not for the faint of heart, but I can ascertain it is immensely well-researched and an informative read.
