Riassunto

This is a core text of tropical medicine with an emphasis on the practical aspects of problem-solving in the tropics. It is a practical companion for the increasing number of medical students and junior doctors who have the opportunity to practice medicine in the tropics. This edition includes more case histories and self-assessment questions which put the subject into a clinical, problem-based context. For many, the limited laboratory backup and choice of effective treatments places a greater burden on their clinical common sense than might otherwise be the case. This book tells you what the effective doctor would do when confronted by an ill patient. It presents a concise account of the conditions which cause serious tropical disease and concentrates upon those conditions which are treatable.

Recensione

[This book] tells you what the safe, humane doctor actually does when confronted by an ill 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

Dalla quarta di copertina

Lectures Notes on Tropical Medicine remains the best core text on tropical medicine for all students and clinicians visiting the tropics. It presents a concise account of the important tropical diseases and concentrates on practical aspects of problem–solving in tropical medicine. Intended as a practical companion to tropical studies the pragmatic style is supplemented by numerous case studies and self–assessment questions. This edition has been completely revised, and for the first time Dr Bell is joined by a distinguished group of co–authors. The sections on AIDS is the tropics and an entirely new section on the chronic cough, including tuberculosis, have received particular attention.
