Since its introduction in 1967, Alexander A. Fisher's Contact Dermatitis has been the one essential text for American dermatologists who see patients with contact dermatitis. The sixth edition is an encyclopedic reference that discusses all aspects of contact dermatitis. It features a full color atlas section as well as color images for the first time. The 6th edition provides updates on the following sections: statistics and sources of rubber allergy; allergy to plastic chemicals, especially epoxies and acrylics; textile dyes and permanent press allergy; photo dermatitis; allergy to newer preservatives and other ingredients in skin and hair care products and cosmetics such as cocamidopropyl betaine, emulsifiers, methyldibromoglutaronitrile; and metal allergy especially gold, nickel, rare metal allergy and allergy to dental materials, cardiovascular and orthopedic implants.
he updated edition of Dr. Alexander Fisher's classic monograph continues to form the foundation of this resource, well regarded for its consistency and readability. No other text provides this degree of coverage, and in such detail. The extensively revised and updated edition features all the common and unusual allergens physicians are likely to encounter, including latex and gold allergies, plus the best, most in-depth discussion of aquatic dermatoses available anywhere. An extensive appendix provides thumbnail sketches of many allergens, and brief commentaries on their exposure and cross reactions.
