Doody Review Services
Reviewer: Patricia Wong, MD (Stanford University Medical Center)Description: This paperback book succinctly covers various pediatric skin disorders. Two pages are devoted to each topic with an accompanying clinical photograph and brief outline of pathogenesis, treatment, prevalence, presentation, and differential diagnosis. The book is a take-off on the Color Atlas and Synopsis of Dermatology: Common and Serious Diseases (McGraw-Hill, 2001) by Fitzpatrick et al. Purpose: The purpose is to provide the practitioner with a speedy reference to look up basic information and to try to identify a problem they may not be familiar with by using the photographs and reading the description of the skin lesions in the physical examination section. Audience: Medical students, pediatric residents, first-year dermatology residents, family practitioners, general internists, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants may find this a handy guide for diagnosis, treatment, and a quick primer. The information in this book does overlap with a number of the entities included in the Fitzpatrick. Features: Overall, the photographs are quite good, but some are not as clear and detailed as one would like. If you have no idea what you are looking at, this book will not be helpful because it is organized by diagnoses. Although the diagnoses are grouped under larger categories, one does have to have a generally correct idea about what the diagnosis may be to use the book. The appendix is organized alphabetically by disease entity. At the top of each page is a one sentence summary of the disorder. I like the conciseness of the book. Assessment: I liked the Fitzpatrick analogue better. But this book does provide a companion for those who like this format and deal with pediatric dermatology.
