Dermatologia pediatrica

La dermatoscopia, originariamente impiegata per il miglior riconoscimento delle lesioni pigmentate della cute, con la esplicita finalità di identificare precocemente il melanoma, è oggi vantaggiosamente utilizzata per affinare le capacità diagnostiche in numerosi campi della dermatologia, dalle patologie infettive e parassitarie a quelle infiammatorie, tanto da essere diventata una procedura imprescindibile nella comune pratica quotidiana. Dal 2008 siamo impegnati a proporre al pediatra l'uso del dermatoscopio, credendo che esso possa divenire, così come in verità sta già accadendo, parte integrante del set di strumenti utili al "self help ambulatoriale".

This is a highly illustrated guide to the diagnosis and management of nail conditions in children. With new material on genetics and on developments such as dermoscopy, it will be invaluable as a reliable clinical reference for both dermatologists and pediatricians, as well as those in family practice.
