useful color atlas

The retained image is often critical to the diagnosis of infection. An astute clinician relies on visual to retrace the footprints of memories and association with a patient's condition, some gathered from past experience and others from a book or atlas. This volume by Conlon and Snydman provides vivid photographs of common and rare illnesses that all health providers should have outlined in their minds. This is a clear, comprehensive book, which is a valuable source of reference in the management of infectious disease.
