introduction to tropical medicine. The new edition is in full
colour throughout with over 40 colour images integrated with the
text. There is a new chapter on syndromes of undernutrition (in
both children and adults), and the section on non-communicable
diseases has been extended to include mental health problems in the
tropics.
The core information is presented in a clear and concise way,
with extensive use of diagrams, algorithms, tables and boxes. All
chapters have been updated to reflect current best practice and the
annotated bibliographies and lists of web-based resources have been
extended. The chapters on HIV, tuberculosis and malaria have
undergone particularly extensive revision, reflecting rapid changes
in these areas since the last edition.
Lecture Notes: Tropical Medicine is particularly
aimed at postgraduate doctors attending tropical medicine courses,
as well as medical students taking a tropical medicine elective
period. It will also be useful to a wide range of other health
professionals involved with medicine in the tropics, or imported
tropical disease.
Geoffrey Gill is Senior Clinical Lecturer at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. Nick J Beeching is Senior Lecturer in Infectious diseases at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. Both edited the fifth edition of this book.
