Synopsis

The second edition of Tropical Infections Diseases: Principles, Pathogens & Practice (TIDPPP) achieves an unprecedented level of detail and depth in reviewing the scientific background to the current understanding of tropical infections, their pathogenesis, pathophysiology, treatment and prevention. TIDPPP is a scientific companion to tropical infectious diseases that sets new standards of completeness and scientific integrity.

Hailed in JAMA as a superb scientific reference that "should become a classic" the second edition continues to present cutting-edge clinical management and inescapably comprehensible life cycle diagrams.
