Written by the same internationally renown experts that produced the two-volume set, Tropical Infectious Diseases, this concise practice-oriented guide provides the clinically relevant information needed to evaluate, care for, and treat patients with a variety of diseases caused by infections and parasites found in the tropics. Divided into two sections for ease of reference, the first considers specific clinical syndromes and related issues for those traveling to or residing in the tropics. The second section addresses the diseases caused by specific bacterial, parasitic, viral, and fungal infections.

Includes contributions from over 180 international specialists who provide the latest therapeutic information for the most effective and beneficial management.

Covers diagnostic approaches to syndromes as well as pathogens to enable the reader to develop a differential diagnosis.

Contains information on the geographic and epidemiologic factors for each disease.

Features new life cycles for 30 parasites that visually clarify the interrelationships of parasite and vector biology and ecology with the pathogenesis and disease in humans.
