Lectures On Tropical Diseases

Lectures on Tropical Diseases

by Patrick Manson

Sir Patrick Manson, a prominent British physician, delivered ten lectures on tropical diseases in San Francisco in 1905. These lectures, later compiled into this book, provided detailed clinical descriptions of various ailments prevalent in tropical regions. Manson's insights into the complexities of tropical diseases, such as Guinea worm, filarial elephantiasis, malaria, sleeping sickness, and kala-azar, are still considered valuable today. The book also offers practical guidance on diagnosing perplexing tropical fevers. Beyond its medical content, 'Lectures on Tropical Diseases' provides an unintended glimpse into the dynamics of British imperialism during that era.
