| Summary, etc. | 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. |
