Product Description
The must-have reference in dermatology--now completely revised and updated in full color! A Doody's Core Title ESSENTIAL PURCHASE! 5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "This is the BEST edition of Fitzpatrick's Dermatology in General Medicine. Every chapter has been completely rewritten and updated; many new chapters cover new topics such as atypical melanocytic nevi, oncogenes, and epidemiology; and therapy, which in previous editions was not extensively covered, now has over 300 pages devoted to therapeutics, surgery, and laser. Clinical color photographs and microscopic color photographs of histology appear in every chapter, a big improvement over the older editions that had black-and-white pictures. Everyone needs to own a copy of this superb seventh edition....This is an outstanding book and if you have only one dermatology book, this is the one.

Easy to read and practical June 12, 2009 lau g (CR) I am a resident of dermatology, for my tests i have to read the hole book. when i saw this new edition i was very pleased.
Compared to others editions it has more comparative tables so is easier to make diferences between diseases that are alike, also brings new algorithms that makes easier to understand the evolution and what do you spect to find.
the chapter of embiogenesis and the part of inmunology in some chapters are also illustrated (the last one does not bring those illustrations.
Its true, it cames in three collums, but the letter is big enough for read it, also i prefer that that three o 4 volumes.
in comparison of the bologna, this one brings more diseases.
This is the best version of this already great book!!!! December 21, 2007 Leslie Baumann MD (Miami Beach FL) 4 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have relied on this book for years to keep me up to date on the science and practice of dermatology. I was thrilled to be asked to write the chapter on cosmetics and skin care (ch 251) and counted the days until this edition was out. Once my book arrived I went to the website, entered my code and downloaded the book to my laptop. It is UNBELIEVABLE!!! You can search the entire 2 volume book for a search term in seconds. I can carry the book with me on my lap top to grand rounds, conferences and on airplanes. It is now my peripheral brain. Thanks to McGraw Hill for making it even easier on those of us who constantly write a need references at our fingertips. In addition- the illustrations are beautiful. If you are trying to decide whether to chunk your old one and spring for the new one- DO IT!

Puede mejorar el formato, aumentar los síndromes clásicos. March 17, 1999 2 out of 18 found this review helpful
El hecho de que los volúmenes sean tan grandes empeoran el manejo del mismo. Falta más información sobre síndromes dermatológicos clásicos, fundamentalmente congénitos. La fisiopatología aunque muy amplñia al principio del libro, debería ser más clara y mejor explicada. Falta en los diversos tratamientos que hayan sido contrastados con una medicina basada en la evidencia. No obstante es uno de los libros de dermatología que son imprescindibles para el dermatólogo.
Not so happy May 3, 2010 Dushmanta Talukdar (SAUDI ARABIA) I BOUGHT THE 7TH EDITION AND VERY UNHAPPY RIGHT NOW AS IT IS NOT SO USER FRIENDLY.I BOUGHT THIS BOOK FROM INDIA AND HAD A TOUGH TIME GETTING THE E-EDITION DOWNLOADED.IT IS DIFFICULT TO GO THROUGH THE BOOK AND COMPUTER AT THE SAME TIME.THE BOOK LOOKS SLIM AND HANDY BUT PROBABLY THE 6TH EDITION WAS BETTER.THE ETIOPATHOGENESIS IN CERTAIN TOPIC GOES TOO DEEP UNNECESSARILY.
