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.

La patologia cutanea in età pediatrica e adolescenziale non è soltanto un problema medico: i disturbi ad essa collegati possono avere infatti profonde ripercussioni nell'ambito familiare e sociale e risvolti psicologici individuali spesso gravosi. Questo libro costituisce la prima trattazione in italiano di dermatologia allergologica in questa fase della vita. Oltre a fornire un aggiornamento sugli aspetti generali, allergologici, di diagnosi e terapia su tutte quelle condizioni dermatologiche associabili ad una eziologia allergica, il volume si propone come aiuto e guida per tutti i medici e gli operatori sanitari che intendono approfondire e migliorare le conoscenze in questo interessante ed emergente settore delle scienze dermatologiche. Tutti i capitoli sono stati redatti da specialisti con molti anni di ricerca ed esperienza pratica nel settore e aggiornati ai più recenti studi e ricerche cliniche.

It contains over 300 full-colour, high-quality clinical photographs of skin conditions, as well as simple algorithms to aid diagnosis of common presentations, such as itchy red rashes, blistering disorders, bruising and hair and nail disorders.
