About this book
The skin is a common target for adverse drug events and even mild rashes can be part of life-threatening syndromes. Patients and practitioners often face important decisions about therapy after a drug eruption, including treatment, cross-reactivity with future pharmaceuticals, genetic considerations and dealing with long-term sequelae after a reaction. An international team of experts and leaders in the field share their story and insights into the scientific details and relevant clinical context.
Reviews
“The audience encompasses physicians such as dermatologists and critical care specialists/burn unit intensivists … the book will provide any physician with insights into the most common drugs, patient populations, and sequelae of these reactions. Pharmacists also would find this book useful to better understand these reactions.” (Patrick J. McDonnell, Doody's Book Reviews, June 07, 2019)
