Aus den Rezensionen zur 4. Auflage: ! Ein englischsprachiges Standardwerk zum Kontaktekzem ! Erfreulich ist, dass in Unterschied zu dem sonst in Lehrbuchern ublichen Gebrauch von Literaturangaben die einzelnen Stellen im Text auch aufgefuhrt sind, so dass man die Quellenangaben fur einzelne Textinhalte nachvollziehen kann. ! So finden sich in den einzelnen Kapiteln viele Tabellen, in denen zahlreiche nutzliche Informationen zusammengetragen sind. ! Sehr hilfreich sind auch Empfehlungen zur geeigneten Testkonzentration von wichtigen Kontaktallergenen ! Das Buch ist sowohl als Lehr- wie auch Nachschlagewerk sehr gut geeignet !
