Section A covers clinical presentations according to body systems and syndromic approaches, so that the reader can go straight to the relevant section for clues to the likely diagnosis. Section B gives core knowledge & clinical advice on the major tropical infections such as malaria and leprosy. The final section covers other serious tropical diseases, grouped by main body system of presentation, which includes cholera, hepatitis and scabies amongst others.
Additionally, this edition includes new chapters that broaden the traditional scope of tropical medicine . These include a chapter on HIV & Aids which reflects the impact that these have had on the tropics, a chapter on non–communicable diseases and their management, as well as a new chapter on refugee health that covers humanitarian emergencies, control of epidemics as well as health assessment of asylum seekers. As always, carefully selected colour plates and an increased number of illustrations, effectively portray clinical conditions. This fifth edition of Lecture Notes on Tropical Medicine is a very practical companion for the increasing number of medical students and junior doctors who have the opportunity to practice medicine in the tropics. It is also a key resource for clinicians who see patients with `tropical′ disorders.

This new, revised edition includes a more global and syndromic approach to tropical medicine. A new section covers clinical presentations according to body systems and syndromic approaches. Two further sections give core knowledge and pragmatic clinical advice on both major tropical infections and relevant diseases in the tropics including malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS. This edition also includes new chapters that broaden the traditional scope of tropical medicine : a chapter on non–communicable diseases, such as epilepsy, diabetes and hypertension, which are becoming more widespread in the tropics, and a chapter on refugee health that covers humanitarian disasters, control of epidemics and health assessment of asylum seekers.
Carefully selected colour plates and an increased number of illustrations effectively portray clinical conditions. All in all, Lecture Notes on Tropical Medicine remains the best core text on tropical medicine.
