Purchase options and add-ons

Delivering the facts to your fingertips, the Oxford Handbook of Tropical Medicine provides an accessible and comprehensive, signs-and-symptoms-based source of information on medical problems commonly seen in the tropics. A handy guide which can fit in the coat pocket and be used easily at the bedside, it has been designed to be as practical as possible with illustrations of blood films and stool smears, which are useful for diagnosis, as well as clinical features, diagnosis, and management. Medical conditions are ordered by system except for the five major tropical conditions - malaria, HIV/STIs, tuberculosis, diarrhoeal diseases, and acute respiratory infections - and fevers. In this new edition the sections on malaria, cardiology, chest medicine, gastroenterology, mental health and dermatology have undergone major revision, and there is new material on altitude sickness, heat stroke, avian flu and fuller poisoning. There is a greater emphasis on paediatric medicine and public health throughout, and new illustrations and photographs have been included to aid with diagnosis. Small enough to throw in your rucksack, this unique handbook is the ultimate quick reference guide for all those working in the tropics.

Product description

Review

...a practical, well-written, pocket-sized handbook for practitioners or medical students of tropical medicien working in an area of limited resources...based on current WHO guidelines...[it] will be useful for practitioners in isolated settings. (Winnie Ooi, MD, Harvard Med School)

...this is a gem of a handbook. (Mad Mag)

Review

`Review from previous edition The handbook delivers the facts to your fingertips... if I had 425g of luggage allowance to spare I would throw it in my rucksack!' S B Welby in Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology `A strong point of the handbook is its range of practical protocols developed by the WHO. These allow a structured approach to patient care and can be adapted to national policies and local conditions, used for easy reference, and disseminated appropriately.' John Hartley, University College London Hospital `This is an invaluable resource... this book will answer all of your questions about tropical medicine in a concise manner and suggest a plain and easy to follow treatment plan.' Reviewer on Amazon `... is an excellent resource for those working in low-resource circumstances. ... it attempts to provide common sense, rational and relevant information and advice (...)for those working within the tropics and in resource-poor settings, it is unique, practical and excellent resource and can be thoroughly recommended.' Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy 2005 `The pocket sized format, with robust plasticized cover ensuring its portability and durability, combined with concise yet highly informative coverage of a vast number of topics will ensure the continued success of the second edition of this popular handbook... I have no reservations in recommending the second edition of the OHTM to both students and practitioners of tropical medicine. Whether working in the tropics or in resource-rich settings, this handbook will certainly prove its worth.' Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene 2005 `This is a well-written, reasonably comprehensive handbook of clinical tropical medicine that will be very useful for the practitioner in an isolated setting.' Doody's Journal May 2005

5.0 out of 5 stars the tropical medicine bible...
Reviewed in the United States on 30 July 2013

I am currently working in a large medical NGO as an outpatient/emergency, chronic disease and nutritional feeding program medical supervisor in Africa. I use this handbook as a portable reference in my "go bag" at least several times a week. It covers a very wide variety of topics that are pertinent to anyone working in these challenging contexts. It is well organized and indexed.

Ran into a friend of mine heading to the Sudan to work for 6 months and he wished that he had a copy as well... This one is a no brainer, it will pay for itself 10x over and help save lives along the way. Just make sure you get it before you leave.

One wish - pdf copy for my iphone...

5.0 out of 5 stars Weitreichende Informationen effizient aufbereitet und robust verpackt.
Reviewed in Germany on 24 August 2013

Dieses Buch hat mich auf eine sechswöchige humanitäre Arbeit im ländlichen Kenia begleitet. Dort gab es meist kein Strom und schon gar kein Internet. Zwischendrin regnet es sehr stark. Das Buch passt gut in die Seitentaschen meiner Outdoor-Hosen und durch das Kunststoffcover ist es sehr robust. Es sieht noch aus wie neu, obwohl es viel mitgemacht hat. Die Inhalte sind sehr klar strukturiert und man findet schnell, was man sucht.

Ursprünglich hatte ich mir dieses Buch für mein Studium und als Referenzwerk gekauft, weil es sehr viele wesentliche Informationen hervorragend aufbereitet hat. Doch erst durch meine Feldarbeit in Kenia habe ich den wirklichen Wert dieses großartigen Buches begriffen. Es ist ein robuster Begleiter, der alle wesentlichen Informationen schlank und trotzdem umfassend präsentiert.

Ich kann es daher sowohl zum Studium in Deutschland empfehlen als auch für Reisen in ressourcenarme Umfelder.

Actualización y síntesis de los principales problemas de salud presentes en las zonas tropicales de acuerdo a su importancia. Está todo lo esencial y práctico. No olvida los aspectos relacionados con la salud pública. Es llevable y está muy bien editado. Imprescindible.

4.0 out of 5 stars 熱帯医学というよりも、医学の熱帯地方版という感じ
Reviewed in Japan on 23 August 2013
Verified Purchase
内科や小児科、外科など多項目にわたり記載があり、これ１冊を読むだけで、熱帯地方で必要な医学的知識がまんべんなく得られる様なハンドブックとなっています。足りない情報はより、情報の多い本を読むべきでしょう。
