International travel enables skin diseases to move around the world with increasing ease. Skin diseases transmitted through casual contact with people, animal vectors and a foreign environment are particularly prone to transport. Dermatologists need to recognize the signs and symptoms of disease not native to their environment to enable proper diagnosis and care.

Imported Skin Diseases provides a clinical guide to the foreign diseases increasingly seen in 'Western' clinics. With a focus on accurate diagnosis and effective therapy, the book covers:

Differences between pigmented and non-pigmented skin
Viral, bacterial and fungal Infections
Parasitic infestations
Sexually transmitted diseases
Aquatic diseases

Written by an international team of experts, with practical tips throughout, Imported Skin Diseases prepares you for the unusual skin diseases you are increasingly likely to see in your clinic.
