The second edition of Tropical Infections Diseases:: Principles, Pathogens & Practice (TIDPPP) achieves an unprecedented level of detail and depth in reviewing the scientific background to the current understanding of tropical infections, their pathogenesis, pathophysiology, treatment and prevention. TIDPPP is a scientific companion to tropical infectious diseases that sets new standards of completeness and scientific integrity.
Hailed in JAMA as a superb scientific reference that should become a classic the second edition continues to present cutting-edge clinical management and inescapably comprehensible life cycle diagrams. The lucid text is easily navigable for access to clinically relevant information by strict adherence to a common sequence of presentation throughout the text.
TIDPPP is of enormous use and benefit to the specialist and non-specialist alike.
