This new, third edition delivers the facts to your fingertips, providing an accessible and comprehensive, signs-and-symptoms-based guide to medical problems commonly seen in the tropics. The sections on trauma, malaria, cardiology, chest medicine, gastroenterology, mental health, and dermatology have undergone major revision, and there is new material on altitude sickness, heat stroke, avian flu, and poisoning. Information on clinical features and management is presented alongside detailed ilustrations and photographic plates to aid diagnosis. Small enough to throw in your rucksack, this unique handbook is the ultimate quick-reference guide for all those working in the tropics.
