Callen: Dermatological Signs of Internal Disease 4th edition: Expert Consult - Online and Print

In this fourth revision of our book we selected co-authors to completely revise many of the chapters. We rearranged, shortened, or expanded other chapters to enhance our goal of providing the practicing physician, academic physician, or resident with a teaching text that explores the relationship of the skin to internal diseases or conditions. Although colleagues aided us in this revision, we continued to serve as contributing editors to ensure that the spirit of the book continues, and that important entities are covered and that duplication is avoided. As in the first three editions, we chose to provide suggested readings rather than an extensive reference list. These suggested readings have been updated so that the interested reader may delve into the most current literature. We have continued the use of color photographs throughout this edition, and in many cases have found new photographs for inclusion.
