Description

  • Provides a practical case-driven approach to potential environmental hazards to the skin  
  • Richly illustrated to facilitate recognition of the effects of environmental exposure to plants and insects on the skin
  • Includes globally relevant content to help clinicians investigate dermatologic lesions wherever they or their patients are situated 
  • Assists in structured diagnostic review by including helpful algorithms to aid in identification and effective treatment

This book comprehensively covers the knowledge and skills that physicians, medical students and mid-level providers (physician assistants and nurse practitioners) need in order to care for patients with plant or arthropod exposures. It presents the epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of selected exposures, before discussing prevention strategies and management options for adverse cutaneous reactions and selected systemic manifestations. Lastly, it reviews emerging viruses carried by arthropods and related human diseases, such as the Zika virus.  

Dermatological Manual of Outdoor Hazards covers a broad range of arthropod and plant exposures, with a specific focus on dermatological manifestations, making it a valuable resource for all trainees and practicing dermatologists, primary care physicians and emergency physicians who treat these patients.
