From the reviews:
"This hefty ... book summarises the most up-to-date information on sexually transmitted infections and diseases. ... In view of its intended audience, 'the medical student and resident who are interested in infectious diseases ... and the microbiologist who will advance new developments in the field', the authors have certainly succeeded in providing a text that is up to its publisher's standard. ... research scientists, epidemiologists, and public health workers, might find it an authoritative and valuable work of reference, and a source of continuing inspiration."
