Reviews
From the reviews: The purpose is to provide a framework for diagnosing and managing complex immunological diseases of the skin. ... The audience is dermatologists, and third year dermatology residents would find this book useful. ... This is a useful reference for clinicians. I would recommend it to any dermatologist who sees patients. ... This book will teach readers how to think, and the test format provides a more active way to learn the material. (Patricia Wong, Doody's Review Service, February, 2011)
From the reviews: Present difficult cases in allergy and immunology. The design adopted is unusual but from the point of a practising allregologist is very useful. Each chapter is backed by reader friendly tables and is extensively illustrated. The strength of this book lies in the wealth of up to date information presented in a format which highlights the clinical approach to a patient. This scholarly tome will be ready reckoner to all students of allergology . (A. Shah, European Respiratory Review, March, 2010) This is an interesting text for allergologists, dermatologists and immunologists, and to those training in these professions. The authors present patient histories and discuss the differential diagnosis and treatment of 20 disease entities, including those in the pediatric age group (such as atopic dermatitis, food allergies, contact dermatitis, etc.). Excellent for teaching. (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, Vol. 8 (2), December, 2010)
