During the past three decades paediatric dermatology has emerged as a specialty in its own right. As interest in this area has increased exponentially, so too has the need for accurate and uptodate information.Edited by three leading authorities in the field, and containing the contributions of 185 acclaimed experts from 18 different countries, Textbook of Pediatric Dermatology provides an uptotheminute, encyclopedic reference source. The two volumes that comprise The Textbook are lavishly illustrated with over 1,200 superb full color photographs and numerous line drawings and charts.Important common diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, are divided into specific topics, each authored by an expert in that aspect of the disorder. This approach has enabled the editors to draw upon the expertise of the most appropriate authority in the field, offering a truly international perspective.There are chapters on modern genetic concepts including variations on mendelian inheritance, mosaicism and gene mapping, as well as the practical and ethical aspects of new molecular techniques and gene analysis used in prenatal diagnosis.Factitious disease and coping mechanisms in the setting of chronic disease are discussed in their respective sections, and the effects of solar radiation and preventative measures are addressed in a chapter on Photoprotection.The section on Surgery describes both the basic and complex techniques commonly used for paediatric patients, and includes tissue expansion, grafts, scars and burn wounds. The use of lasers for the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions, and sedation and anaesthesia appropriate for children are also discussed.In the Infectious Diseases section, there are indepth discussions of the Bartonella and zoonotic poxvirus diseases, the endemic treponematoses, leprosy, and leishmaniasis infections that are often poorly covered in general dermatology textbooks. Written by contributors with first hand knowledge in the diagnosis and care of patients with such disorders, these chapters broaden the scope of the book, and will be invaluable for practitioners caring for children in developing countries.A unique concept, the Textbook of Pediatric Dermatology brings together a wealth of expert knowledge from across the globe to provide the most comprehensive, uptotheminute, full color text on the subject.
