About this book
Reviews
“This book describes the pathophysiology of different drug rashes of different etiology with a special insight into drug hypersensitivity reactions. … Those physicians (allergists, dermatologists, pathologists, etc.) who desire a more in-depth look at the interaction of drugs and the skin, as well as the underlying mechanisms that lead to cutaneous drug eruptions, will find in this book a comprehensive and up-to-date valuable medical reference.” (Alberto Alvarez-Perea, World Allergy Organization WAO, worldallergy.org, January, 2016)
“This book discusses the underlying immunopathology and histology responsible for the patterns of drug rashes. … The audience is dermatologists and primary care physicians. … The authors do an outstanding job of helping track down the villainous drug. If you are interested in honing your Sherlock Holmes diagnostic skills, get this book. I plan to keep it close by.” (Patricia Wong, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2015)
