I bought this book today and read it.It is an excellent book,fungal diseases are discussed one by one with illustrations,pictures,slides and in some cases microbiology.One can review all the important fungal infections in short time.It is a modern book with WEB SITES at the back.Treatment are also discussed.It is a small 114 page book but covers a vast topic of cutaneous fungal infections.It is helpful for the undergraduate and postgraduate medical and dermatology students.
