Product Description
This little book covers anything you are likely to meet in a Travel Medicine Clinic. It includes problems associated with air travel, adventure travel and travel for special groups as well as the usual pre and post travel consultations. Since Tropical Medicine is intimately bound with Travel Medicine much attention is paid to common tropical diseases such as malaria and dengue as well as to less common ones such as leishmaniasis and filariasis. Ultimately this little book aims to help all health professionals who are interested in Travel Medicine and is particularly suited for anyone preparing to take an exam in this topic. It will also be useful for undergraduate doctors, nurses and pharmacists as well as for humanitarian aid workers who want a quick source from which they can study or to which they can refer. The layout is simple and clear, the questions are often from real cases and the answers, mostly with references, are easy to understand. Overall the contents are presented in a short concise way which would otherwise need labouring for many hours through much larger texts. A knowledge of Travel Medicine is not just pertinent nowadays, it is essential, and we hope that this book will convey excitement and enjoyment as well as facts for the reader.

Great disappointment by R. O. Doehring (New Zealand)

While the questions in this book are generally good, and serve as a useful guide to the span of knowledge required in the practice of travel medicine, I would caution the reader to be very wary of the answers and explanations provided. In my own speciality area, medical microbiology, I found several errors of fact, and two errors which demonstrated very basic misunderstanding of a concept (minimum inhibitory concentration and prevalence). There were also typographic errors too numerous to count. I saw as I set out to write this review that there is now a new edition. I can only hope that the revision has been thorough.

I've learned a lot from this book by Gypsy Steverson (Los Angeles)

Great book for the Medical travel consult professional, helps you answer all of your patient's questions. I think it will be a good study guide and help in Passing the ISTM travel medidicne Exam.
