Summary

The potent systemic immunosuppression therapy necessary to sustain a life-saving solid organ transplant is associated with many adverse cutaneous effects. This is the first scholarly compilation of the knowledge base surrounding the care of solid organ transplant recipients with dermatologic diseases. Supplemented with dozens of full-color photographs, Skin Disease in Organ Transplantation brings together decades of knowledge into a cohesive format. It is an outstanding resource for transplant providers and dermatologists to determine the optimal diagnostic and therapeutic approach to the problems of cutaneous disease in organ transplant recipients.
