Full Description
The latest edition of the perfect companion for tropical and sub-tropical medicine study and practice
The newly revised Eighth Edition of Lecture Notes: Tropical Medicine offers a comprehensive yet concise introduction to the study of tropical medicine, summarising key facts about common and rare infection problems as encountered in the tropics and resource poor settings. Initial chapters review syndromic approaches to common clinical presentations like diarrhoea, respiratory, neurological, and skin disorders, while later sections address individual diseases with relevant pathogen biology, diagnostics, and management approaches tailored for clinicians working in resource poor environments.
An excellent addition to the Lecture Notes series, this title features brand new sections on anthrax, plague, and respiratory infections such as SARS and MERS with potential for pandemic spread. All 67 chapters have been fully updated, including new algorithms, colour illustrations, and photographs to clarify and assist in topic comprehension.
Perfect for on-the-go study and clinical practice, Lecture Notes: Tropical Medicine includes:
A thorough introduction to tropical syndromes and symptom complexes, including gastrointestinal, febrile, and ophthalmological presentations, and sexually transmitted infections
Comprehensive explorations of major tropical infections such as malaria, leishmaniasis, leprosy, schistosomiasis, tuberculosis and HIV
Practical discussions of many other infections in the tropics and sub tropics
In-depth examinations of snakebite, malnutrition, tropical haematology, non-communicable diseases, psychiatric problems, neglected tropical diseases and refugee health
Perfect for doctors and nurses planning to work in resource poor tropical settings or wishing to expand their core knowledge, Lecture Notes: Tropical Medicine is also an ideal resource for qualified healthcare workers and undergraduate students seeking a one-stop reference for tropical and sub-tropical medical practice. The text is also suitable for resident doctors training to specialize in infectious diseases and medical microbiology, and for those studying or working in travel medicine.
