There are almost 2000 different skin diseases, any of which may be presented to physicians acting in a variety of capacities, including GPs, accident and emergency officers and specialist dermatologists. This up-to-date, systematic guide covers the clinical investigation of patients with medical and surgical diseases of the skin. The reader is taken through the various tests involved in diagnosis such as skin biopsy, microbiological investigations and allergy and blood tests. The text is highly practical and supported by high quality colour illustrations throughout. Further chapters are dedicated to genetic aspects of skin disease, applications of molecular biology in dermatological investigations and the effect on the skin of exotic and opportunistic infections such as HIV. This comprehensive, but accessible, volume will be essential reading for any clinician involved in the diagnosis and management of skin diseases.
