📖 The Scoop

Highly commended at the British Medical Awards 2002

Increased global travel has facilitated the spread of diseases that were previously restricted in their distribution. The fifth edition of this internationally acclaimed book combines over 1000 outstanding illustrations and expanded, authoritative text covering the clinical diagnosis, pathology and ecology of all recognized tropical and parasitic diseases.

Conditions are separated into eight sections. Chapters contain relevant epidemiology maps, histopathologic illustrations, improved laboratory tests and examples of modern diagnostic screening. Parasitic life-cycle illustrations, as well as photographs and tables of clinical features and macro- and microscopy of causative agents, vectors, etc, are also integrated throughout the text. The final chapter includes an expanded section on HIV infection and AIDS.
