Drug Eruptions 

Cutaneous adverse drug reactions are common and range from the benign to those which are life-threatening. The clinical presentation of these dermatoses is varied and many may mimic common skin conditions. Consequently, diagnosis in drug-induced skin disease is challenging and the treatment considerations are complex.    


 


This book aims to bridge the divide between dermatology and allergy by providing a comprehensive review on the pathomechanisms and clinical features of cutaneous adverse drug reactions. Broken up into three distinct sections: General Considerations, Reaction Patterns, and Special Drug Categories, these chapters cover the common and rare adverse skin reactions and provide information on recent advances – particularly immunopathology and pharmacogenetics – as well as highlighting new adverse drug signals and novel therapies.


 


Drug Eruptions is a must-have resource for dermatologists, allergists, internal physicians and general practitioners.
