Editorial Reviews

Review

"A superb collection of well-written, well-organized, and authoritative chapters that are as up to date as possible. Almost every chapter is outstanding and some are classics in their own right. The authors represent a who's who of experts on modern tropical infectious diseases." – The New England Journal of Medicine, review of the 2nd Edition

"This is the third edition of an excellent, edited, comprehensive book that presents the scientific basis for the current understanding of tropical infectious diseases. This book succeeds in its effort to be the definitive work on the newest concepts in the field as well as a practical guide to clinical management of tropical infectious diseases. The addition of new topics, such as vaccines and new pathogens, make this update a worthwhile addition to one's library."

― Winnie Ooi, MD, MPH, DMD, Harvard Medical School

5.0 out of 5 stars So much to learn, so little time

This text is the gold standard for a reason. As a medical student and masters student I can appreciate the depth and breadth of this book. It is truly comprehensive. If I had to make any critique, its that the autor may on occasion ramble on about somewhat geographically diverse and at times overwhelming studies on a particular disease. Don't get me wrong, this is pretty much what tropical medicine is all about: understanding the complex ecology of infectious diseases. It can just be a bit much at times. The figures and photos are fantastic and the book is organized in both a pathogen and then clinically oriented fashion. This is a must have on the bookshelf of anybody who plans on going into global health/tropical/infectious medicine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Farbreiches und detalliertes Buch
Reviewed in Germany on November 3, 2014

Es ist in der Tat ein etwas dickeres Buch, umfasst 4-stellige Seiten, aber sehr didaktiert in den Anfangskapiteln zu Epidemiologie und auch den Therapieansätzen. Später geht es auf einzelne Krankheitsbilder ein. Klar habe ich das Buch nicht durchgelesen, da recht dick, aber auf den "ersten Blick" ein sehr interessantes und farbenfrohes Buch mit vielen Bildern, die für einen visuell lernenden Menschen wie mich ganz hilfreich sind. Nur ist es eben auf Eglisch, aber wer sich überlegt, irgendeinla in den Tropen zu arbeiten oder Patienten aus den Tropen zu behandeln, dem wäre eh geholfen, Englisch, Spanisch oder Französisch ansatzweise zu beherrschen...!
