Travel Medicine: Colour Guide (Colour Guides) Book

This is a highly illustrated guide to an increasingly important area of health care. GPs and Practice Nurses are frequently called upon to give medical advice to people taking holidays in places which until very recently were only visited by explorers or serious mountaineers, while travel to countries where malaria is endemic is now commonplace. Travellers frequently return with exotic rashes etc which are highly suitable for illustration in colour. All the important areas of the subject are covered, including advice to travellers, immunisation, malaria, assessing fitness to travel, illness while travelling and problems after return. There is at present no widely available short guide to travel medicine which is illustrated in colour and is suitable for a wide range of health professionals - this Colour Guide fills that gap.Read More
