Publisher's Synopsis
Doctors treating venereal diseases in tropical countries often find themselves responsible for the prevention and control of the disease for great numbers of people, trying to combat the lack of supportive health services and accomplishing their work on small, tightly controlled budgets. In this text the authors outline ideal courses of action, but also provide guidelines to a more pragmatic approach, believing that this will benefit the largest number of patients within the limited means available. The book also indicates how the data obtained and methodology evolved in these areas where doctors may see thousands of patients in various stages of the disease, could be of considerable value to practitioners everywhere.
