Synopsis
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) are a major public health problem both in their own right and because of their link with HIV infection. This has elevated their control to an absolute priority throughout the world. In developing countries, which account for approximately 75% of the easily curable STI, as estimated by the WHO, and where sexually transmitted HIV infection has reached epidemic proportions, the need is most acute. Here AIDS is claiming hundreds of thousands of lives and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. In addition, because of inadequate resources, the sequelae of STI (e.g. infertility and some cancers) contribute greatly to ill-health in the tropics. This book written by acknowledged experts working or with experience in tropical countries, gives clear, concise and up to date knowledge and understanding on all aspects of Sexually Transmitted Infections. It should be useful for all those involved in the appropriate management and control of STI in various settings, ranging from peripheral and rural and urban health care centres to large hospitals. It will also be invaluable for students of tropical medicine, medical microbiology and genito-urinary medicine.

Review
"Starting with the trends of the 1980s and 1990s - for example, the demographic and socioeconomic substrates of sexually transmitted diseases, their effect on the health of mothers and children and on reproduction, the contribution of classic sexually transmitted diseases to the transmission of HIV infection, new diagnostic laboratory tests, and the growing problem of antibiotic resistance among pathogens - the books offers both theory and practical guidance to doctors and nurses who care for patients with sexually transmitted diseases. The book also has a superb color atlas with 141 photographs to aid in the identification of specific syndromes and pathogens. There are up-to-date chapters on all the viral, bacterial, fungal and protozoal microorganisms and arthropods transmitted by sexual contact. Its coverage of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and complications of HIV infection is excellent." -- Claire B.
