DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDespite the importance of infectious diseases in dermatology, there are no books that present the physician with a rational basis for treating these conditions. But skin infections are now receiving increased attention, due to the widespread availability of international travel, evolution of new (often drug-resistant) organisms and the spread of AIDS, which predisposes a patient to previously 'rare' conditions. Professor Harahap has extensive experience with tropical skin diseases and has brought together a small, select group of contributors from around the world to contribute chapters on skin infections, the immunocompromised patient, infections in skin surgery, and the use of tropical antimicrobial agents. The emphasis throughout is on making the correct diagnosis and using effective treatment. Skin conditions are illustrated with both black and white and colour photographs. With the increasing internationality and worldwide travel of patient populations, tropical and 'exotic' illnesses are encountered with surprising frequency. This book therefore provides vital information about these infections and their therapies. This book offers an affordable and concise introduction to skin infections for the trainee dermatologist as well as for generalists and family practitioners.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book summarises the key clinical features and their treatment across a range of skin diseases and describes the decision-making process when referring patients to specialists.

Treatment of Skin Diseases: A Practical Guide principally aids primary care physicians, trainee dermatologists and dermatology nurse practitioners, but it is also a convenient management guide for allied health professionals, students and hospital-based physicians. A concise atlas of diagnostic photographs is included and incorporated with a simple set of common differentials to provide a useful reference for primary care readers and those training in dermatology. The book also contains information on the management of common skin problems, together providing a comprehensive introduction to the treatment of skin diseases. The treatment options for secondary and tertiary care are also included to provide a thorough picture of the spectrum of dermatologic therapeutics.

The volume has been divided into three sections. The first section includes chapters on diagnosis, treatment, and prophylaxis of skin and soft tissue infections. It discusses antimicrobial and surgical treatment of wounds, diabetic foot, and different soft tissue infections. Ten chapters are devoted to cutaneous and musculoskeletal infections in special groups of patients, which have their own specificity, i.e. in pediatric and HIV-infected patients. Together with chapters on commonly present diseases, there are chapters which discuss interesting but not well studied pathologies (natal cleft pilonidal sinus) and pathogens (Malassezia and Shewanella spp.). The second section reviews etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of bone and joint infections, mainly osteomyelitis and prosthetic joint infections. Also, one chapter in this section discusses a newly emerging bacterial pathogen that causes skeletal infections, Kingella kingae. The third section incorporates alternative and new approaches—such as nanotechnology, ultrasound, novel delivery approaches and phyto-derived medicines—to the treatment and prophylaxis of skin, soft tissue, bone, and joint infections.
