BOOK REVIEWSRecent Advances in Tropical Medicine

Edited by SIR NEIL HAMILTON FAIRLEY, A. W.WOODRUFF and J. H. WALTERS. Third edition.Pp. viii + 480, with 15 illustrations. London:J. & A. Churchill. I960. 50S.

During the 30 years which have elapsed since theprevious edition of this book knowledge of tropicaldiseases has expanded greatly and, in addition, newdiseases and groups of diseases have been recognized andstudied. There was thus a need for a volume whichwould present concisely an account of the new know-ledge without the systematic and detailed treatment of atextbook.The vast majority of the subjects dealt with in the

earlier edition have been included in the new one,ancylostomiasis being the only important one omitted.In addition, a large number of subjects not previouslymentioned have been introduced. These include SouthAmerican trypanosomiasis, the cestodes, typhoid andrelated fevers, leptospirosis, fungal diseases, anaemiasin the tropics, hereditary disorders, endomyocardial

fibrosis and epidemic haemorrhagic fever. Authoritativeopinions representing the various schools of thought aresummarized and an extensive bibliography is quoted.It is interesting to note under nutritional disorders theswitch from vitamin deficiency in the last edition toprotein deficiency in this. The greatly increased materialhas been accommodated in only some 30 pages more thanpreviously.

It is inevitable that, owing to the period needed forpublication, very recent work should not receive notice,but in some sections discoveries reported three or fouryears ago have not been included. There is, for example,no reference to the discovery in 1958 of a bushbuckcarrying a natural infection of Trypanosoma rhodesiense.For some years obstructive clearing has been thought ofonly limited value in the control of riverine species oftsetse, but is here strongly recommended. In the sectionon kala-azar there is no reference to the importantsequella, post-kala-azar leishmanoid. Brugia malayifilariasis has not been differentiated into periodic andsemi-periodic forms, though these are epidemiologicallyvery different.
