Este libro es el fruto de la experiencia como docente en la asignatura de Medicina Interna en el Departamento Clínico de la Universidad de Caldas, en su componente de Medicina Tropical, así como en las asignaturas de Bacteriología, Virología y Micología en el programa de Bacteriología de la Universidad Católica de Manizales. En él no se pretende agotar un listado de enfermedades propias de la zona tórrida, ni tampoco sus contenidos, pero sí se quiere entregar la información necesaria y suficiente para comprender los fenómenos relacionados con situaciones sanitarias que, en gran medida, dependen de las condiciones socio-ambientales en las cuales se presentan. Si se logra el entendimiento de las relaciones causales y etiológicas, las relaciones con el entorno y su contexto epidemiológico, las expresiones clínicas de las patologías y sus perspectivas terapéuticas y profilácticas, se obtendrá, con razonable certeza, el éxito esperado en las intervenciones que se requieren para atender a la población afectada que, en su gran mayoría, se circunscribe a la región intertropical y que pertenece a los países con menor desarrollo socioeconómico.

I have been aided in this work by two colleagues at Glasgow University Library, Dr Lloyd Davies and Barbara MacMillan, and in general revision by Kate Richard. Close on 20% of the text has been altered. The equivalences, introduced into the last edition, linking acronyms in different languages for the same organization, have been extended. New to this edition is the cross-referencing between a defunct organization and its successor. Otherwise the policies adopted in previous editions have been retained: strictly local organizations are omitted...
