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 - scientific companion to tropical infectious diseases that sets new standards of completeness and scientific integrity.
Hailed in JAMA as - superb scientific reference that "should become - classic" the second edition continues to present cutting-edge clinical management and inescapably comprehensible life cycle diagrams. The lucid text is easily navigable for access to clinically relevant information by strict adherence to - common sequence of presentation throughout the text.
TIDPPP is of enormous use and benefit to the specialist and non-specialist alike.
REVIEWS OF THE PREVIOUS EDITION:
'Provides - sound scientific background for the subsequent consideration of each specific pathogen' An outstanding contribution and should become - classic in its field. It is must reading for all physicians working in tropical infectious diseases, and should be on the shelves of all physicians in the field of infectious diseases.?
