Tropical Medicine
Tropical medicine covers a wide range of tropical infections from hepatitis to malaria to dengue, found principally in the tropics. These tropical diseases tend to flourish in hot and humid conditions and can be especially prevalent in poorly financially resourced areas.
To help drive a conversation about tropical medicine, this article collection explores tuberculosis, hepatitis, malaria, dengue, leishmaniasis, and immunisation.
