Care of the Newly Born Infant
نویسنده
چکیده
IN 1889 the first edition of this world famous textbook on tropical diseases by Sir Patrick Manson was published. The fact that this book has now reached its sixteenth edition is testimony to its continued popularity. The first five editions were the work of the original author but the last ten have been by the present author who has clearly left the imprint not only of his editorship but also of his wide knowledge and interests. The book has a marked clinical orientation although many other aspects of diseases in the tropics have been included. Indeed, the scope of the subject matter which is covered is so wide that the book can be used as a reference for much out of the way information, while at the same time it is an invaluable guide to the management of tropical disorders. While one hesitates to criticise what has always been regarded as the standard work on tropical diseases, yet it must be stated that the coverage attempted in one book is almost too wide. There are chapters on life in the tropics and the diseases likely to occur therein; tropical fevers subdivided by aetiology; deficiency diseases; skin diseases; poisons of exotic snake and insect origin; disease of the eyes; drugs used in the tropics; medical zoology and a section on clinical pathology. This breadth of coverage has meant an inevitable sacrifice in the presentation particularly in the layout, the size of page and the size of print, which I personally think is a little unfortunate. Perhaps the time has come to present this monumental book in two volumes of larger page size and clearer print-one on clinical tropical medicine and the other on its laboratory aspects. M.G.N.
