Tropical and travel medicine

Carefully written, this book is essential for any general practitioner or internist or emergency physician in their daily work. For almost thirty years, tropical medicine has developed a new field of application: travel medicine. The doctor is now frequently consulted by travelers with health problems on their return from a tropical stay or for advice and recommendations before leaving for a country "at risk" (recommended or compulsory vaccinations, chemoprophylaxis, dietary advice). The content of this book has been updated with the latest recommendations. It includes 100 MCQs, essential for self-assessment and essential for the success of the competition. It is structured as follows: - Travel advice: all the measures to take before undertaking a stay in a so-called "tropical" zone; - Pathology of the return: orientation by signs and symptoms: an aid to the diagnosis according to the disorders evoked and the results of analysis; - Disease sheets: synthetic descriptions of the main infectious diseases encountered in the tropics; - Migrant medicine: real practical tools.
