Descrizione
The aim of the second edition of this atlas was to improve and update both the
images, many of which are new, and the written content, including the latest
developments in diagnosis and treatment. Some clinical features that were not
included in the first edition have also been added.
This atlas has always been
intended to help clinicians to recognise the different dermatoses they may see in
daily clinical practice.
Although dermatology is based on direct observation of the
affected organ, which should theoretically make diagnosis easier, it is notably
difficult to find pathognomonic images of a given disease, and we must always
consider the differential diagnoses when suspecting whichever is most likely.
One
of the advantages of this book, therefore, is that it links clinical features and
presentations to the corresponding dermatological patterns and the probable
diagnoses that could match them. In this second edition, we have expanded the
range of photographs, many of which are accompanied by the corresponding
cytology results or microscopic images that could help bring the diagnosis to light.
As the author of this atlas, I would be delighted if it helped veterinarians to reach
diagnoses and resolve their cases.
