used as chemoprophylaxis in areas of the world with chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum. The authors should also have included chloroquine in their recommendations, since pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine is insufficient prophylaxis in areas where P. falciparum and P. vivax co-exist. The text contains numerous typographical errors and the table on antimicrobial prophylaxis is difficult to read. The authors' writing style is quite readable but is occasionally ambiguous (e.g., surgery "seems reasonable, if not mandated" upon development of congestive heart failure in endocarditis). This book is an acceptable introductory text for medical, nursing, and physician's associate students. However, its superficiality will limit its usefulness for house officers.
