MedicalScienceBooks.com Medical Book Review: The connection between systemic disease and the dermatological manifestation of disease is one of the most commonly overlooked, yet high yield clinical indicators. Dermatological Signs of Internal Disease, now in its 4th edition, is one of the few texts with a primary purpose of surveying skin issues associated with disease states commonly presenting in both the primary care and specialist settings. A remarkable amount of clinical information is conveyed for a text only slightly over 400 pages in length, much of which is dedicated to exemplary color photographs and histological sections. The economy of words represents an expert distillation of information that would typically be covered in more comprehensive resources written specifically for dermatologists. Accessibility to the busy non-specialist on the "frontlines" of diagnosis is a major strong point of this title. Chapter authors skillfully relate the implications of findings obtained by inspection of patients' skin on differential diagnoses as well as gauging disease progression in those with known disease. Dermatological Signs of Internal Disease 4th edition has a definite place in the reference library of any primary care physician.
