Manual of Tropical Pediatrics

Rating:
Summary: Tropical disease made easy
Review: This is an important book. It belongs on the core list of textbooks at medicals schools in the tropics. The author, who is a white African himself, and who actually went to medical school in Africa, clearly and simply sets out practical guidelines for the management of diseases that the medical officer sees everyday; diseases which in the West would be managed by a team in ICU. A must for the student as well as for those going to do a stint where diseases of poverty abound. It will not be long before the student asks "Where is my Seear?".
