This book aims to provide an illustrated guide to the diagnosis of common bacterial, fungal, viral, and tropical skin infections, as well as recognition of arthropods of medical importance. Superb images capture the full spectrum of presentations for each condition. The text is divided into chapters by class of organism, and in each chapter by clinical entity.
