Image of Management of Severe Malaria (2nd edition)

Provides new and revised practical guidance on the diagnosis and management of severe malaria. After outlining the general nursing care needed by these patients, it considers in turn the possible complications including coma, convulsions, severe anaemia, acidosis, renal failure, hypoglycaemia and pulmonary oedema, and gives specific and concise advice on their management. The book is aimed at clinical professionals and other responsible health staff working in hospitals and health centres, and will also be of practical use to physicians in non-endemic areas, who are increasingly having to deal with patients infected during visits to malarious areas.
