Les principaux syndromes infectieux sont aussi présentés, de même que des situations cliniques particulières avec un focus sur les populations vulnérables, les pathologies antérieures à risque et le cancer. Chaque chapitre recouvre tous les aspects épidémiologique, microbiologique, clinique, diagnostique, thérapeutique et préventif le cas échéant. Cet ouvrage de référence a été rédigé par des spécialistes francophones, experts de la dermatologie infectieuse. Illustré par 300 photos retenues pour la pertinence de leur représentativité, il constitue un outil précieux pour la pratique quotidienne des dermatologues, des infectiologues et des médecins généralistes. Ce livre s'adresse également aux étudiants cherchant à en connaître davantage sur cette discipline couvrant un large spectre de compétences.

      People of African ancestry have sensitive skin and may suffer from a wide variety of skin disorders. Hair disorders are also common and differ from those suffered by Caucasians. This issue of the Dermatologic Clinics focuses on the most common skin and hair disorders seen in black skin, with articles focusing on acne scarring, alopecia, keloids, and skin pigmentation. There are also articles addressing moisturizers for the skin and the effect of hair treatments on the hair and scalp. Also discussed is the sociohistoric issues that can cloud the scientific understanding of clinical entities. Emphasis is often put on race and yet a very clear distinction should be made between race and quantifiable entities such as pigment and hair curl as determinants for skin/hair disease predilection; this is quite distinct from race as a surrogate for social class and a disease determinant for most medical conditions and malignancies.

      Le lupus érythémateux est une maladie chronique, qui résulte d'un dérèglement multifactoriel du système immunitaire et qui illustre parfaitement le concept de maladie auto-immune systémique. Affection aux symptômes multiples, elle se déclare le plus souvent par des manifestations cutanées ou articulaires, mais elle peut toucher n'importe quel organe. De par la complexité de son diagnostic et de son traitement, le lupus érythémateux est une maladie parfois grave dont le diagnostic et la prise en charge font appel à un grand nombre de spécialités médicales : dermatologie, rhumatologie, médecine interne, néphrologie, hématologie, pédiatrie, biologie médicale, mais aussi parfois pneumologie, cardiologie, gastro-entérologie..... Ce livre didactique, organisé sous la forme de mises au point et d'interrogations que le professionnel de santé est amené à se poser, propose : - un ancrage diagnostique et thérapeutique par des mises au point, dans la première partie, offrant un rappel de la physiopathologie du lupus érythémateux, de ses manifestations cliniques et biologiques et de son traitement ; - un approfondissement des différentes manifestations, des situations particulières et des complications que peut présenter le patient lupique : lupus chez l'enfant, grossesse et lupus, risque infectieux, ostéonécrose, ischémie cutanée, douleurs abdominales, etc. ; - une évaluation des multiples traitements, chaque symptôme nécessitant une cure spécifique. Les syndromes plus rares associés au lupus, comme le syndrome d'Evans ou encore le syndrome d'activation macrophagique par exemple, sont ainsi abordés spécifiquement, afin de déterminer le remède le plus adapté. Cet ouvrage exhaustif, illustré par de nombreux tableaux et figures, éclaire une maladie complexe et polymorphe. Il guidera les nombreux praticiens pour lesquels le lupus érythémateux est un enjeu majeur de diagnostic, véritable cas d'école de diagnostic différentiel. Il apportera une aide considérable dans la prise en charge thérapeutique en abordant concrètement les nombreuses situations cliniques auxquelles les malades lupiques sont exposés.
