Description:

The approach taken in this book has not been to consider individual infectious agents and evaluate what they do and do not cause but to consider clinical conditions and what might be responsible for them. To cover the complete spectrum of the sexually transmitted diseases in a comprehensive way now take a textbook of massive proportion. No attempt has been made to do this here, but the topics considered to cover in an easily manageable volume a majority of the clinical problems encountered by physicians in this field. The approach has been to consider first problems primarily affecting men, then those affecting women and finally those which affect both, concluding with a chapter on the acquired immune deficiency syndrome: last but certainly not least. Although information on the latter topic will rapidly become out of date no current discussion of the sexually transmitted diseases can do without its coverage. To accomplish all of this, a group of contributors has been brought together each of whom is actively engaged in research in the topic concerned and who understands the problems.
