microorganisms has facilitated the return of old communicable diseases
and the emergence of new ones. Tropical Dermatology, 2nd Edition, provides a practical, highly illustrated approach to the diagnosis and treatment
of a wide range of tropical skin diseases. In a concise and
user-friendly format, it offers authoritative coverage of epidemiology,
diagnosis, differential diagnosis, pathology, laboratory tests,
management, and prevention for both common and rare conditions.
