About the Book

This highly illustrated, practical manual of tropical pediatrics is an essential guide for all doctors and health workers in developing countries. Tropical diseases that affect these children are often exacerbated or caused by poverty and neglect. However, this volume recognizes that even the most limited and basic medical resources can make a significant contribution to improving the health of children. This manual clearly describes the symptomatology of common tropical diseases, using numerous high-quality illustrations, and offers practical advice on their effective treatment using the medical resources readily available in these countries. Additional features include guidance on running a district laboratory and pharmacy, and a checklist of essential drugs.

Review :
' … a very useful, small, reference book for paediatricians in any part of the world requiring a problem-based approach to diagnosis.' Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology 'This book is very well laid out, the writing appealing and the pictures and graphs are informative … Without limitation it can be recommended to physicians who only occasionally treat children with tropical diseases.' (Translation from German)Clinical Paediatrics 'It is a very useful small reference book for paediatricians in any part of the world requiring a problem-based approach to diagnosis.' Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine 'This very practical book is written by tropical medicine experts practicing in some of the poorest nations of the world … a joy to read.' Cambridge Medicine 'At long last a text of pediatric problems as experience by health care professional … The text is well illustrated with good quality photographs … I think this book is one which can be used as a manual of paediatrics in developing countries and as such is well named and presented.'
