This well-illustrated book is a comprehensive guide to the cutaneous clinical presentations of mycobacterial infections. The Mycobacterium genus includes over 170 species, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) having been added to the obligate human pathogens such as M. tuberculosis and M. leprae. NTM are widely distributed in the environment with high isolation rates worldwide; the skin is a major target with variable clinical manifestations. A current resurgence in tuberculosis is aggravated by the synergy with human immunodeficiency virus, the breakdown of health care systems, and the rise in multidrug-resistant disease, as the incidence of leprosy remains stable, at around 250,000 new cases annually, regardless of effective antibiotic therapy. Presentations of various cutaneous infections caused by mycobacteria may be overlooked by clinicians owing the lack of familiarity with tuberculosis, leprosy, and the related NTM clinical features. This handy guide will help the dermatologist to spot the different clinical manifestations, make a prompt diagnosis, and apply effective treatment.

Questo libro potrebbe intitolarsi: “Storia dell’importanza dell’aspetto e della sessualità in Italia” tanto questi due punti giocano un ruolo importante in questo contesto. Durante le ricerche dell’autore, che voleva rappresentare succintamente il contributo degli Italiani nel mondo della Dermatologia e della Venereologia per fare giustizia di un vuoto immeritato e indegno, sono emerse, sempre più prepotentemente, delle storie quasi incredibili e hanno ripreso vita dei personaggi giganteschi che hanno obbligato a più di una riflessione. Quando la medicina incide sulla la vita privata, essa diventa strumento per capire i tratti caratterizzanti di una civiltà. Il fatto che la sif...
