The Oxford Handbook of Tropical Medicine provides clear and concise coverage for practitioners and students in the tropics. Medical conditions are ordered by system except for the five major tropical conditions - malaria, HIV/STDs, tuberculosis, diarrhoeal diseases, and acute respiratory infections - and fevers. The book has been designed to be as practical as possible with illustrations of blood films and stool smears, which are useful for diagnosis, as well as clinical features, diagnosis, and management. In this new edition the cardiology, chest medicine, renal, and endocrinology sections have undergone major revision, and there is new material on mental health and ophthalmology. Oxford University Press would like to thank Tropical Health Technology for supplying the images for the colour plate section of this book.


Review:

Useful for travellers and African medical practitioners

I used this book as a comprehensive & concise reference while at a hospital & clinics in rural Zimbabwe, and left the book with a clinic nurse when I departed; he has found it invaluable. Next time, I'll bring several copies of this book (as well as more soccer balls!) to donate to health care facilities. The lack of opportunities for continuing education and poor internet access makes written reference works like this essential.
