Global movement of people leads to the global movement of
disease
International travel enables skin diseases to move around the
world with increasing ease. Skin diseases transmitted through
casual contact with people, animal vectors and a foreign
environment are particularly prone to transport. Dermatologists
need to recognize the signs and symptoms of disease not native to
their environment to enable proper diagnosis and care.
Imported Skin Diseases provides a clinical guide to the
foreign diseases increasingly seen in ‘Western’
clinics. With a focus on accurate diagnosis and effective therapy,
the book covers:
* Differences between pigmented and non-pigmented skin
* Viral, bacterial and fungal Infections
* Parasitic infestations
* Sexually transmitted diseases
* Aquatic diseases
Written by an international team of experts, with practical tips
throughout, Imported Skin Diseases prepares you for the
unusual skin diseases you are increasingly likely to see in your
clinic.
