Sommario/riassunto

Clinical cases are a key component in modern medical education, assisting the trainee or recertifying clinician to work through unusual



cases using best practice techniques. Exfoliative dermatitis, also known as "red man", is an important discipline in this regard since it is a highly visual subject requiring the reader to describe often very subtle differences in the presentation of patients and define accurately the diagnostic and management criteria to base their clinical decision-making on. Clinical Cases in Exfoliative Dermatitis highlights evidence-based best practice through a multidisciplinary approach that is relevant to dermatologists, as well as pharmacologists and pathologists.
