内容説明

The most established title in Tropical Medicine is now available at a price which makes it accesible to practitioners everywhere. We have made one of the greatest comprehensive medical references available for only slightly more than the handbooks on the subject. In its 21st edition, Manson's Tropical Diseases retains its strong, practical, clinical emphasis with clear advice on the diagnosis and management of both infectious and non-infectious tropical diseases. From high-altitude medicine to heat stress, infections to insect bites, it covers every condition encountered when working in the tropics or treating patients from these areas. Why is this still an 'invaluable addition to the literature'*?Every aspect of tropical medicine is covered in detail - not just infections Both a system-based and a disease approach are taken, with extensive crossreferencing to minimise duplication Content includes a strong clinical focus, supported by clinical management diagrams Written and edited by THE experts in the field, many of whom are based full-time in the tropics * * *The LancetAll chapters have been completely revised and updated with NEW chapters on Ethics, Transfusions, and Genetics, and an expanded chapter on HIV infection and treatment in the tropics. New Clinical Management diagrams focus on the pertinent aspects of each treatment. Content has been expanded on the discussion of re-emerging diseases. Newly discovered viral agents and all new therapeutic agents are reviewed. New appendices have been added on Tropical Drug Therapies, Key aspects of Tropical Nursing, and Sources of Information on Tropical Medicine.
