Features: Dermatology and Venereology (6th Edition) is divided into three parts and thirty-six chapters. The general introduction now includes a new chapter, "Introduction to Dermatology and Venereology," which provides a concise yet systematic overview of the current state and characteristics of the discipline. To emphasize the importance of dermatopathology in the diagnosis of skin diseases, the chapter on dermatopathology has been made independent. To reflect the application of modern molecular biology techniques in clinical and research settings of dermatology and venereology, brief introductions have been added to relevant content. Significant adjustments have also been made to the treatment drugs and techniques related to dermatology and venereology.
The specific sections on dermatology and sexually transmitted diseases introduce 117 types of skin diseases and sexually transmitted diseases, an increase from the 5th edition. New additions include tinea, frictional lichenoid papules, certain animal-related skin diseases, occupational skin diseases, some types of eczema, pruritus gravidarum, centrifugal annular erythema, erythema lichenoides, acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, porphyria cutanea tarda, and cutaneous horn, among others, which are common or have typical clinical manifestations. Meanwhile, rare or overlapping diseases with other disciplines, such as erysipelas and chickenpox, have been removed. Some synonyms for diseases have been standardized (e.g., Sarkoidosis is now referred to as Primary Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma).
In terms of style, the book maintains a classic and concise approach while adding new diseases without increasing the word count. To preserve the discipline's unique characteristics and enhance quality, Dermatology and Venereology (6th Edition) continues to be published in color. The images used in the book are carefully selected from over 5,000 provided by various institutions, adhering to the principle of "selecting the best from the best, avoiding compromise." Additionally, to support teaching, we have summarized and refined relevant content from the book and meticulously drawn dozens of colorful diagrams based on excellent international textbooks.
