Testing in Cutaneous Systemic Adverse Drug Reactions: Interest and Limitations
About this book
Knowledge in the field of allergic contact dermatitis has grown to a great extent, due to recent advances in the chemical, immunological and clinical fields. These advances include the improved techniques of patch testing and prick testing, e.g. additional tests such as open, semi-open, repeated open application test (ROAT) and use tests, photopatch tests, atopy patch tests and provocative tests. Further, due to the ongoing changes in our environment, the series of patch tests – the so-called standards – are also regularly renewed.
This new edition is completely revised, updated and expanded, with more colour illustrations. It is a universally useful and superb guide in the management of positive and negative patch test and prick test reactions, for all practicing dermatologists, from the beginner to the well-trained expert.
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
"The aim is to balance brevity and clarity with sufficient details for beginners in the field of diagnostic patch and prick testing. … the book also will be of use to dermatology residents or anyone wishing to gain better knowledge of contact dermatitis. … There are many high-quality photographs and useful algorithms and tables. … It is clearly and concisely written and will serve as an indispensable guide for any dermatologist interested in contact dermatitis." (Renata H. Mullen, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2009)
Aus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage: “... Ziel des hier vorgestellten Leitfadens zu Hauttests ist es, die praktische Umsetzung der ICDRC-Empfehlungen in den klinischen Alltag darzustellen. ... Mit seinen 195 Seiten – aufgelockert durch zahlreiche Tabellen und farbige Abbildungen - versteht sich dieses Buch als Ergänzung zu den umfangreichen Standardwerken. Hilfreich für den eiligen Leser sind eine klar strukturierte Inhaltsangabe, unter denen vielfach in übersichtlichen Spiegelstrichen gegliedert die wesentlichen Informationen aufgeführt sind. ... Doch auch theoretische Grundlagen ... werden kurz und bündig dargestellt. Insgesamt ein Buch mit großer praktischer Nutzanwendung.“ (Franziska Rueffl, in: JDDG Journal der Deutsche Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, 2010, Vol. 8, Issue 3, S. 219)Authors and Affiliations
