Physician's Guide to Drug Eruptions

This is a colour-illustrated general physician's drug eruption reference manual that describes and catalogs the adverse cutaneous side effects of more than 250 commonly prescribed and over-the-counter American drugs. The manual lists and indexes all drugs by generic and trade name and cites more than 10,000 references from English-language journals, books, and observations. A main section of the book provides description of thirty drug eruption reaction patterns, including acanthosis nigricans, acne, acute exanthematous pustulosis, alopecia, angioedema, aphthous stomatitis, black hairy tongue, bullous eruptions, erythema multiforme and Stevens-Johnson syndrome, erythema nodosum, exanthems, exfoliative dermatitis, fixed eruptions, gingival hyperplasia, lichenoid eruptions, lupus erythematosus, onycholysis, pemphigus, photosensitivities, pigmentation, pityriasis rosea, pruritis, psoriasis, purpura, Raynaud's phenomenon, toxic epidermal necrolysis, urticaria, vasculitis, and xerostomia. The last section of the book catalogs a complete list of these and other reaction patterns and the drugs responsible for them. This Physician's Guide to Drug Eruptions is based upon and follows the plan of Litt and Pawlak's more specialized Drug Eruption Reference Manual (1997; Parthenon; ISBN 1-85070-907-6), which was acclaimed by Dr. Larry E. Milliken in his JAMA book review as "essential in my practice and for clinical education."
