About the Book

Lecture Notes on Tropical Medicine is a core text with an emphasis on the clinical aspects of problem-solving and management in the tropics. It is a practical companion for the increasing number of students and doctors who have the opportunity to practice medicine in the tropics and is also a key resource for clinicians who see patients with tropical disorders. This new, revised edition includes a more global and syndromic approach to tropical medicine. A new section covers clinical presentations according to body systems and syndromic approaches. Two further sections give core knowledge and pragmatic clinical advice on both major tropical infections and relevant diseases in the tropics including malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS. This edition also includes new chapters that broaden the traditional scope of 'tropical medicine': a chapter on non-communicable diseases, such as epilepsy, diabetes and hypertension, which are becoming more widespread in the tropics, and a chapter on refugee health that covers humanitarian disasters, control of epidemics and health assessment of asylum seekers. Carefully selected colour plates and an increased number of illustrations effectively portray clinical conditions. All in all, Lecture Notes on Tropical Medicine remains the best core text on tropical medicine.

Review :
'[this book] tells you what the safe humane doctor actually does when confronted by an will patient with only his or her clinical skills for guidance, nothing in the laboratory pipeline and a very limited choice of available treatments' British Medical Journal "An ideal quick reference text with just that little bit extra and no burden of detail" 2nd Opinion, 1996"Buy it if you want a refreshingly practical book for your tropical elective" Sheffield Medical Gazette, 1997 'easy to access and up-to-date' British Journal of Dermatology 'provides excellent value for money' Tropical Diseases Bulletin "Perfect for third years off on their electives who need a lightweight reference book, and a useful grounding for students considering tropical medicine as a future career." 5th Year Medical Student, University of Liverpool Sphincter, June 2004

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
