Nuclear Medicine in Tropical and Infectious Diseases (Developments in Nuclear Medicine) Review

This 252 page text is volume 34 of series entitled "Developments in Nuclear Medicine". The Text consists of 30 chapters, many of which are dedicated to specific tropical and some more common micro-organisms, with an emphasis on how Nuclear Medicine techniques may contribute towards the management of patients with these infections. To those in the developed world the list of organisms might be considered to be of small relevance to our day to day practice of Nuclear Medicine, but we are reminded in the Foreword of the prevalence of diseases such as malaria, leprosy, schisosomiasis and others, with half of the world's population being at risk and the fact that 36% of dealths are due to infectious diseases in the developing world. Some of the last 6 chapters are less specific, dealing with radiopharmaceuticals used in infection and inflammation and the role of Nuclear Medicine in the management of Fever of Unknown Origin. More specific chapters are also incorporated towards the end of the book covering invasive fungal infections, mononuclear cell mediated inflammation and the labelling of antibiotics and micro-organisms.The list of contributors is multinational but predominantly from Brazil and Ghent, with the editor being the sole author or contributing to the majority of chapters. A reasonably large number of figures are included, many of which illustrate features of Nuclear Medicine imaging in tropical and infectious diseases that are rare in more general Nuclear Medicine texts. Some are poorly reproduced, however, and are too small for adequate visualisation of the pathology described.Despite most of us being rarely involved with many of the pathologies described in this book, I suspect that much of the information contained is not easily accessible elsewhere, and as such, this text is of interest and potentially an extremely useful first port of call to look for information on Nuclear Medicine techniques in tropical infectious diseases.
