SUMMARY

DIAGNOSIS OF ONYCHOMYCOSIS AND OTHER NAIL DISORDERS will serve as a diagnostic guide for dermatologists, primary care physicians and residents in terms of identifying both the symptoms of various nail diseases and their etiologies. Written by a highly respected and well -known dermatologist, this volume employs the use of 4-color photographs and limited text to assist the audience in distinguishing the various types of nail diseases including: inflammatory nail disorders, traumatic nail disorders, and local infections. Due to the increasing frequency of nail infections, and the difficulties often encountered in treating them, this practical manual will become a valuable tool for practitioners
