Reviews
From the reviews:
“This hefty … book summarises the most up-to-date information on sexually transmitted infections and diseases. … In view of its intended audience, ‘the medical student and resident who are interested in infectious diseases … and the microbiologist who will advance new developments in the field’, the authors have certainly succeeded in providing a text that is up to its publisher’s standard. … research scientists, epidemiologists, and public health workers, might find it an authoritative and valuable work of reference, and a source of continuing inspiration.” (Johannes Bogaards, The Lancet Infectious Diseases, Vol. 12, June, 2012)
