Textbook of Clinical Medicine for Asia
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Most textbooks of clinical medicine are written by authors in Western countries. Asia has 60% of the world's population and the disease pattern in this region is, in many aspects, quite different from that of the West. Textbook of Clinical Medicine for Asia is written by a group of local experts in Hong Kong. While it is based on Western medicine, this book places particular emphasis on diseases prevalent in Asia, e.g., IgA nephropathy, recurrent pyogenic cholangitis, thyrotoxic period paralysis and many other infections. The use of herbal drugs and their possible toxic effects are also included. Designed primarily for use by medical students and trainees in internal medicine, the book should also be an interesting reference for physicians who practice in Asia as well as physicians in the West who occasionally see Asian patients.
