Elston:
Infectious Diseases of the Skin
By Dirk Elston
2009 (1st ed), 160 pages, 220 illus,
$155 list
Infections remain the leading cause of death worldwide and
as new antibiotics are developed organisms develop mechanisms of resistance.
Successful treatment of skin infections relies on accurate and swift diagnosis
and visual inspection remains the most important means to that end. This book
aims to provide a pictorial guide to the diagnosis of common bacterial, fungal,
and viral skin infections, as well as recognition of arthropods of medical
importance. The text is divided into chapters by class of organism, and in each
chapter by clinical entity. It will be of lasting value to dermatologists in
practice and training, and to general physicians/practitioners interested in
dermatology.

Skin Infections: Diagnosis and Treatment
By Brian Hall
2009 (1st ed), 360 pages, $99 list
This is the first textbook linking the two disciplines of
dermatology and infectious diseases. As the number of elderly, AIDS,
transplant, and cancer surviving patients continues to rapidly increase
worldwide, all medical personnel need to be able to rapidly recognize and treat
infections. The skin is the most easily accessed and monitored of all organs
and is often the first sign of infection. Knowledge of the integument's link to
infection is a must for the modern medical nurse, nurse practitioner, medical
student, resident, and practitioner. To accomplish these goals, the text
features authors from around the world who are considered experts in their
various fields of expertise. The book is organized into types of infections,
locations in the integument, and specific subpopulations of patients at risk
and regional variations of infections.
