This 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.
