From the reviews:
“The book offers an outline for thinking about the differential diagnosis for serious skin diseases one would not want to miss. … The audience is emergency room physicians, dermatologists, and residents. … The color photographs are overall quite good quality. … The authors have compiled important dermatologic diseases that both dermatology residents and physicians who are not dermatologists need to be aware of. … It is a useful outline for nondermatologists and medical students and residents seeking an introduction to potential life-threatening skin conditions.” (Patricia Wong, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2013)
