Diseases of the Eye and Skin: A Color Atlas

by Howard I. Maibach

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The authors--representing both ophthalmology and dermatology--have created the definitive reference on ocular manifestations of local and systemic skin diseases. This atlas includes more than 900 color photographs that show common diseases at various stages, not just in their most dramatic form. Readers can track the evolution of conditions from initial irritation and blemish through eruption to the secretion of pus. A glossary defines the many terms used by both the dermatologist and the ophthalmologist.

Book News Annotation:

His fellow ophthalmologists and dermatologists, whose disciplines are said to share much in common, have completed the goal of the late Dr. Ostler (ophthalmology, U. of California, San Francisco) to create an encyclopedia of eye and skin diseases to facilitate symptom pattern recognition and differential diagnosis of these conditions. Following an introduction to the anatomy of the skin and eyes, chapters arranged thematically rather than alphabetically and illustrated with extensive clinical photos, range from allergic disorders to nutritional disorders. A glossary and suggested reading are appended.
