Oxford Handbook of Tropical Medicine (Oxford Medical Handbooks)

Excellent reference book when working in the Tropics

Excellent book

great handbook

I am completely satisfied with the book. It arrived as soon as scheduled in perfect confitions. The price is pretty good

It took three weeks to arrive, meaning that by the time it did I was not there anymore. I had to buy this book in bookshop. So I had to buy it twice!!

Bought for my daughter to use abroad. Good condition.

This book is good to have if you work as a doctor in the tropics. It contains a lot of information cooked down to a minimum, just what you need to have in your pocket.

I've just been away in Africa and this was the best purchase I made before I went out. It has everything you need for tropical disease from the symptoms through diagnosis and treatment. It has extensive chapters in malaria and HIV and others. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

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.

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。

This is a great book, especially for those who travel for medical missions trips as I do. But even if you practice in rural/remote areas, this is great. Not only does it include well organized descriptions of tropical diseases, it also includes pictures of various skin lesions. Not bad to add to your library. If you come as far as to read reviews on it, you're probably someone who should definitely go ahead a purchase it!

I purchased this book to use as a reference for a medical missions trip to Kenya (as a Pharmacist) and was definitely disappointed. I was really looking to get "in the trenches" information regarding diagnosing and treating diseases of the developing nations but what I got was a standard overview of basic medical information I already knew or could look up in any other medical reference. Much of the book didn't even focus on tropical diseases. I am not sure who would find this useful.....but certainly not me. Thumbs down.

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...

I found the book to be more of a general Internal Medicine textbook versus focus on Tropical Medicine. Topics include Diabetes, Hypertension, Heart Failure, Epilepsy etc. and not enough focus on Tropical Medicine. This textbook was not what I expected.

As a part-time medical missions worker, I need the details to remind myself of treatments and diagnoses of things I don't see on a daily basis. This book had the detail, and was small. I will take it on all my missions with me!

The (physical) quality of material for the cover is great. The size is good. Love the ribboned bookmarks. I think it will be a great reference book when needed.

excellent

Great reference. I used it frequently while I lived in East Africa. I would definitely recommend it.

It came a couple days later than what you predicted but in the nick of time to give as a gift to a nurse going to India to work in a large orphanage. I didn't really get to open the book but was very glad to get it to give to her.

basic pocket size book that review the essentials of Tropical medicine. Can be used in a variety of environments on the field

This is an excellent reference manual, it is at least the 3rd one I have purchased!Arrived on time and in great condition.
