Book excerpt: In this third edition of Manual of Travel Medicine, Australasian healthcare professionals will continue to find the information and advice they need to care for travellers. The Manual is structured as follows: principles of pre-travel healthcare; immunisation; prevention and management of malaria; prevention and management of travellers’ diarrhoea; specific infectious and non-infectious conditions; travellers with specific needs; and health issues in returned travellers. Recommendations for common travel destinations and immunisation and malaria recommendations by country are summarised. For this edition: all original chapters have been reviewed and updated; a chapter, ‘Health issues in returned travellers’, which focuses on the more common and important illnesses and their presentations, has been added; information about and recommendations for the use of new vaccines has been added; 15 of the 21 infection-distribution maps are now printed in full colour; and Mike Starr and Jim Black have joined the author team. For doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, this third edition of the Manual will continue to prove a practical, user-friendly, and authoritative desk-top reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth edition of this well received book provides an authoritative and up-to-date resource to support good practice in travel medicine, a field that has evolved substantially in recent years. Concretely, there has been intensified monitoring of health problems among travelers, as well as extensive research efforts, which have led to the development of evidence-based approaches to the field. The book includes expert recommendations regarding e.g. immunizations, malaria prophylaxis, travelers’ diarrhea, altitude sickness, emerging infections, and non-infectious health issues encountered by travelers. It provides a practical approach to the pre-travel consultation and management of most issues that arise in medical care for travelers. In addition, it provides expert advice for high-risk travelers, e.g. those with immunosuppression, the elderly, pregnant women and young children. The text offers a user-friendly, practical handbook for healthcare practitioners during their clinical consultations, as well as nurses and pharmacists.
