ABSTRACT
In writing this book I owe a great debt to my consultant colleagues, both past and present, in the department of dermatology at King’s College Hospital, London; Dr Saqib Bashir, Dr Anthony du Vivier, Dr Claire Fuller, Prof Rod Hay, Dr Elisabeth Higgins, Dr Sarah Macfarlane, and Dr Rachael Morris-Jones. I have been lucky enough to benefit from their clinical experience and it is a pleasure to record my appreciation and thanks. It has also been my good fortune to collaborate with other colleagues on aspects of acute skin disease, and in particular I wish to acknowledge the help I obtained from Sister Judy Davids, Dr Patrick Gordon, Dr Nick Craven, and Mr Gregory Williams.
