An Atlas of Clinical Dermatology


The Atlas holds >3000 clinical picures and is still expanding.

This atlas of clinical dermatology is based on photographs taken by Niels K. Veien in a private practice of dermatology. Mads Nielsen programmed the data for internet use. The illustrations are intended for use in the teaching of dermatology, and the emphasis is on common skin diseases. For diseases with a wide clinical spectrum, an effort has been made to illustrate various characteristic aspects of the same disease.

The photographs in the atlas are grouped under 9 main headings as shown below. Click on Index I on the vertical bar on the left side of the screen to access groups 1 through 5. Index II covers groups 6 through 9. Select Index I or Index II. The main headings in the index you have selected will appear in the horizontal bar at the top of the screen. Click on one of the headings to open the corresponding section of the atlas.

Click on "Search" in the vertical bar to search for a particular disease, allergen or site. The terminology used throughout the atlas corresponds to that used in major dermatology textbooks.

The illustrations may be downloaded and used for teaching purposes free of charge on the condition that the source, "D@nderm", is acknowledged for each illustration. The illustrations may not be used for commercial purposes or for publication without the permission of the authors .

The authors wish to thank Leo Pharma, who provided an educational grant to cover the cost of digitalizing the original slides, and Aage Bangs Fond for assistance in financing the project.
