It is the most practical source available for STD diagnosis and treatment, by one of the nation’s premier experts in the field.Some 200 high-quality color photographs—the best of the author's extensive collection—guide you through STD diagnosis, management, and prevention strategies. With both etiologic and syndromic sections, the COLOR ATLAS simplifies finding what you need, from guidance on recognizing atypical manifestations of herpes, to management of chlamydial infection, to the work-up of vaginal discharge.

Doody Review Services Reviewer:John S. Czachor, MD, FACP, FIDSA,FSHEA(Wright State University)Description:This second edition updates an already useful resource for all who treat sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) by combining the latest treatment recommendations with new photos of illnesses. Case-based profiles reinforce the text and amplify clinical learning.Purpose:An easy to use tool is provided for the diagnosis and treatment of STDs, as well as syndromes related to or mimicking STDs. The book may also be used as a visual aid for patients.Audience:Any practitioner, public health official, or educator in the field will find a use for this book. Patients may find it valuable for education purposes, as well.Features:The editor provides clear, concise, and specific information about STDs, coupled with cases illustrating the concepts in the chapter preceding the clinical vignettes. This book will serve as a guide for the diagnosis and management of STDs for any practitioner in the field. Strengths include the wide number of topics covered in complete but precise fashion. Treatments are up-to- date and the chapters are well referenced with current data. I only wish that this book were hardcover, as I am certain it will be dog-eared from heavy use.Assessment:This second edition certainly has improved upon its predecessor. Its practical nature, clear photos, and comments following clinical cases provide practitioners with expert guidance as if the editor were physically present. Seldom does a book deliver what it promises; however, in this instance, it has and I feel it will become a standard for years.
