Book SynopsisTrade Review2015 BMA Medical Book Awards: Highly Commended in Paediatrics"In the third edition of this textbook (previously edited by Solomon and Esterly) the editors, Eichenfield, Frieden, Mathes and Zaenglein, have expanded its scope to include skin disorders arising in the neonatal period and infancy. The wonderful aspects of the prior editions have been preserved or improved upon. The text is clearly written and enhanced by the many color photographs of dermatologic disorders. Whenever possible there is a renewed effort to include evidence-based recommendations...Neonatal and Infant Dermatology is far more than an atlas. It is a state-of-the-art presentation of the diagnosis and management of skin disorders, and a road map for future interventions to enhance the well-being of the newborn infant." Foreword by: Richard A. Polin, Feb 2015 "This is the third edition of a book on infant dermatology that presents excellent quality color photographs as well as advice on diagnosis and management based on the superb expertise of a multitude of respected pediatric dermatologists. There is a wealth of valuable clinical information in this updated book on neonatal and infant dermatology. It is a valuable addition to your medical library if you treat infants." - Patricia Wong, MD Doody's Score: 95 - 4 Stars!
