Infections of the skin have become more significant with increased world travel. New strains of disease and an increase in immuno-compromised patients present new challenges for physicians. This colourful atlas is based on the design of "Mandell's Infectious Disease" atlases and includes all viral, bacterial and fungal infections of skin. The text is supported by approximately 500 colour photographs. The content is clinically focused, aimed at all dermatologists and all physcians with an interest in infectious disease.
