There are a number of dermatological or radiologically demonstrable musculoskeletal lesions that have been, or could be, mistaken for intentional physical abuse by the inexperienced or untrained observer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChild Abuse and Its Mimics in Skin and Bone\u003c\/em\u003e illustrates the classic manifestations of physical abuse through dermatological and radiological examination as a standard against which the mimickers of physical abuse can be compared. Beginning with a historical perspective on child abuse, the book explores manifestations of superficial and musculoskeletal trauma in children. It examines conditions often mistaken for child abuse, ranging from rubella to leukaemia and bowing deformities to vitamin A intoxication, as well as a plethora of dermatological conditions that can mimic signs of physical abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for a broad spectrum of individuals who may first encounter a possibly abused child, the book presents hundreds of photos—many in colour—and examples collected by the authors over their years of experience in their respective fields.
