Doody's Review
"This new edition is a more comprehensive clinical handbook than its predecessors, with new sections on obstetric emergencies, pediatric HIV, antibiotic stewardship, healthcare in humanitarian crises, and enhanced sections on noncommunicable diseases as well as updates on HIV, TB, malaria, diarrheal diseases, and tropical diseases. This is a useful resource for healthcare providers who work in limited-resource settings and/or in tropical areas."
-- Jason Beste, MD (University of Washington School of Medicine) Doody's Review
"Based on current WHO guidelines, this is a well written, comprehensive handbook of clinical tropical medicine that will be useful for practitioners in isolated settings."
