This is a fourth edition of this well-known compendium of adverse cutaneous reactions to drugs. The book consists of brief chapters that describe the common patterns of adverse cutaneous reactions to drugs, and those drugs that are most commonly associated with each reaction pattern. Topics covered include acneiform eruptions, alopecia, pigmentary disorders, exanthems, exfoliative erythroderma, urticaria, eczema, photosensitivity, lupus, vascular reactions, porphyrias, lichenoid eruptions, bullous eruptions, and pruritus.
