Brings cases to life.
The book deals with various presentations of common (e.g. malaria) and less common (e.g. Konzo) diseases encountered in the tropics. It covers all major tropical sites as Sub-Saharan Africa (e.g. onchocerciasis, Ebola), Southeast Asia (e.g. penicilliosis), South America (e.g. paracoccidioidomycosis, veruca peruana) etc. Discussions of the cases provide a practical „hands-on“ approach to diagnosis and further management of patients. Summaries of the diseases are outlined in handy infoboxes at the end of every chapter. It is a great resource for students as well as seasoned clinicians who want to brush-up on tropical diseases. Once you are through with this volumen, you are well equipped for a job in a tropical country or in a travel clinic.
The book includes well organized clinical cases of typical clinical presentations that might be encountered in the tropics or in returning travellers. There are various illustrations and the book is a great fun to read. The strengths of this book are a pragmatic practical approach in case discussions and broad spectrum of diseases presented (including non-infectious as Konzo and pellagra).
A very good book to go through before an elective in a tropical country. Give practical information about what to expect, and how to handle it
An excellent book for anyone with basic knowledge on tropical diseases. I really enjoyed reading it!
