The field of tropical dermatology has advanced considerably in the decade since the first edition of this book was published. In this second edition, information on the diagnosis and treatment of tropical skin diseases has been updated, and the scope has been enlarged to encompass the dermatological consequences of new diseases, such as AIDS. The format has also been modified to make the access to information more efficient. Key summary statements and maps referring to disease distribution on the human body are now found in the margins, adjoining the corresponding text.
