Overview

This second volume of The Imaging of Tropical Diseases describes a further wide variety of parasitic infections and other diseases,including benign and malignant tumors, that are commonly found in the tropics or affect those who have lived or travelled there. Some are widespread, others restricted to specific geographical or climatic regions; almost all affect countless patients, some with generalized illnesses, others with limited involvement which may nonetheless be serious for the individual. There are numerous images at the important stages of the diseases, with photographs and histopathological sections to help understand the clinical progress of the disease, and often the response to treatment. These two volumes will be of great value to all who care for patients with tropical diseases, clinicians as well as radiologists.
