Diseases of the Eye and Skin: A Color Atlas (2003) by Bruce H. Ostler PDF

Description

The authors—representing both ophthalmology and dermatology—have created the definitive reference on ocular manifestations of local and systemic skin diseases. This atlas includes more than 900 color photographs that show common diseases at various stages, not just in their most dramatic form. Readers can track the evolution of conditions from initial irritation and blemish through eruption to the secretion of pus. A glossary defines the many terms used by both the dermatologist and the ophthalmologist.

Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I heard Ivan Schuab MD lecture in Kansas City at the KCO&O and heard about this book. It is a good reference for common and uncommon eye-skin diseases. Identify uncommon diseases and may help treat insomnia.

⭐There are a lot of unusual diseases in this book. At least, unusual to the ophthalmologist. In other words, the focus seems to be on dermatologic disorders that may have ocular findings rather than ophthalmologic disorders that may have integumentary findings. That is part of what makes this book great for ophthalmologists.The text is well written, but as it is with most books like this, the key features of a diseases are not emphasized as compared to a laundry list of findings. Also, little discussion exists on treatment. The chapter organization is good and the chapters are not overly long. The pictures, in general, are very good. However, there are a number of diseases in this “ATLAS” with no associated picture. And, the organization of the pictures is a little weird.But, overall, I do recommend this book for ophthalmologists interested in rare diseases or “systemic disease.” This book complements the kanski book on systemic disease and the one by Weingeist.

⭐Good photos! Good atlas!
