Litt , MD, was Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. He was also an Honorary Member of the American Academy of Dermatology and is Associate Visiting Dermatologist at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital.</p> <p>For more than two decades, Dr Litt wrote extensively about drug reactions and was the Editor of the Drug Eruption Reference Manual. New editions of this widely acclaimed book, much beloved by dermatologists, are now created out of this very database (the Litt's Drug Eruption & Reaction Database), updated weekly.</p> <p>In February 2008, Dr Litt was awarded an Honorary Membership by the American Academy of Dermatology for his lifetime dedication and distinguished service to the Academy and its mission. </p> <p>Dr Litt published more than 40 articles in scientific journals dealing with diseases of the skin. These references describe the various reactions and interactions that can result from taking any of hundreds of over-the-counter and prescription medications.</p> <p>Dr Litt also appeared as a guest on more than 1200 radio and TV shows, including those of Oprah Winfrey, Regis Philbin, Sally Jessy Raphael, and other popular hosts, discussing dermatological problems. </p> <p>Other books by Dr Litt:</p> <p><i>Your Skin & How to Live in It, Corinthian Press, 1980, 1982</i></p> <p><i>Teen Skin - From Head to Toe, Ballantine Books , 1983</i></p> <p><i>Your Skin - From Acne to Zits, Dembner Books, 1989</i></p> <p><i>Your Skin - From A to Z, Barricade Books, 2002</i></p> <p><i>Physician鈥檚 Guide to Drug Eruptions, Parthenon, 1998</i></p> <p><i>The Pocketbook of Drug Eruptions and Interactions, Parthenon, 1999, 2001, 2004</i></p> <p><i>Pharmacist鈥檚 Guide to Drug Eruptions and Interactions, Parthenon, 2001</i></p> <p><i>Pediatric Guide to Drug Eruptions, 2005 </i></p> <p><i>Neurological Drug Reactions and Interactions, Taylor & Francis, 2005</i></p> <p><i>Cardiac Drug Eruptions and Interactions, Taylor & Francis, 2005</i></p> <p><i>Psychiatric Drug Reactions and Interactions, Taylor & Francis, 2005</i></p> <p><i>Curious, Odd, Rare & Abnormal Reactions to Medications, Barricade Books, 2009</i></p></div> </div>  </div> </div>  </div> <div id='ama-layout-30462' class='col-sm-4 right_content ama-level-4' ama-global='true'> <div id='ama-section-19322' class='ama-section'>  <div id='ama-section-body-19322' class='sectionbody'>  <div id='ama-field-71832' class='ama-field-html-php'> <div id="sideContent"> <div id="sideContentBlock"> <div id="sideButtons"> <a class="btn btn-primary btn-sidebar btn-sm" href="/savedsearches"> <i class="fa fa-star" style="color:yellow;"></i> Saved Searches</a> <a class="btn btn-primary btn-sidebar btn-sm" href="/watchdrug"><i class="fa fa-bookmark" style="color:yellow;"></i> Watched Drugs</a> </div> <div id="advertisementBlock"> <a href="/info/index/type/mobile"> <div class="mobileAdvert"> <div class="mobileAdvertLogo"> <img src="/img/mobile_advert_logo.png" /> </div> <div class="mobileAdvertBody"> <div class="mobileAdvertText"> <h5>Litt's app available free to subscribers</h5> <p>Search drug eruptions and reactions data anytime, anywhere</p> </div> <div class="advertImage advertFull"></div> <div class="slider"> <div> <div class="advert"> <div class="advertText"><p>With full access to drug profiles, reactions and linked PubMed abstracts through your smart phone!</p></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="advert"> <div class="advertText"><p>If you subscribe via your institution and do not have a personal login you will need to register on the website to create a login for the app.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="mobileAdvertFooter"></div> </div> </a> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery('.mobileAdvertBody .slider').slick({ dots: false, infinite: true, speed: 1000, fade: true, cssEase: 'linear', arrows: false, autoplay: true, autoplaySpeed: 6000, }); </script> <div class="contentBlock"> </div> </div> </div> </div>  </div> </div>  </div> </div> </div> <div id='ama-layout-2815' class='footer ama-level-2' ama-global='true'> <div id='ama-layout-29443' class='tile four-column-grid blue noprint ama-level-3'> <div id='ama-layout-25243' class='content_container ama-level-4'> <div id='ama-section-15165' class='ama-section'>  <div id='ama-section-body-15165' class='sectionbody'>  <div id='ama-field-66363' class='ama-field-html-php'> <footer class="tile footer"> <div class="container"> <div id="footerWrapper" class="wrapper"> <div id="footer"> <ul id="footerLinks"> <li><a href="/search_help" title="Help"">Help</a></li> <li><a href="/terms" title="Terms & Conditions">Terms & Conditions</a></li> <li><a href="/privacy" title="Privacy">Privacy</a></li> <li><a href="/disclaimer" title="Disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></li>  <li class="lastLink"><a href="/contact" title="Contact Us">Contact us</a></li> </ul> <p id="copyright">© 2024 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
