"a concise yet comprehensive guide covering a wide spectrum of
knowledge across disciplines. It is a useful resource for all
health professionals who are involved in travel health."
"This well written manual serves as an excellent reference for many
of the day-to-day issues encountered in a travel medicine practice
as well as for medical providers who encounter patients with a
post-travel problem. Topics are covered in more detail than in MCQs
in Travel and Tropical Medicine: A Primer Of Travel Medicine,
Colbert (iUniverse, 2006). The fourth edition has updated many
chapters with new information and evidence-based recommendations."
- Doody's - 4 Stars - ****
"An excellent, concise resource that provides practical information
to travel and tropical medicine specialists, health care personnel
who work with immigrant and refugee health, and primary care
providers in internal medicine, family medicine, and pediatrics.
The manual has relevant information for providers around the world,
not just North America.The excellent, detailed sections on
pretravel consultations and the evaluation of fever and skin
lesions in returning travelers as well as parasitic infections make
this book a miniature, highly concentrated opus on both travel and
tropical medicine." - Clinical Infectious Diseases December 2009
