Description
This is a short atlas of infectious disease. Each illustration is accompanied by a full explanatory caption. It is ideal for all students and doctors who will have limited exposure to clinical cases during their training and yet have to recognize infectious diseases in their day to day practice. As a clinical atlas it concentrates on those conditions that show exanthemata. The selection of material, which includes tropical conditions, makes the atlas of value worldwide.

Audience
Medical students, junior doctors and trainees in infectious diseases
