The world is becoming smaller, and health care workers are increasingly confronted with heretofore 'exotic' and 'rare' diseases contracted in or otherwise introduced from distant countries. Exotic Viral Disease: A Global Guide is written for the clinician, and deals with the epidemiology, signs, symptoms, and treatment of all unusual viral infections of man. The authors are among the leading opinion makers in the field of Geographic Medicine, and have collected a wealth of important, practical, and up-to-date information, which would otherwise be unavailable in one source to physicians.
