Starting with the trends of the 1980s and 1990s - for example, the demographic and socioeconomic substrates of sexually transmitted diseases, their effect on the health of mothers and children and on reproduction, the contribution of classic sexually transmitted diseases to the transmission of HIV infection, new diagnostic laboratory tests, and the growing problem of antibiotic resistance among pathogens - the books offers both theory and practical guidance to doctors and nurses who care for patients with sexually transmitted diseases. The book also has a superb color atlas with 141 photographs to aid in the identification of specific syndromes and pathogens. There are up-to-date chapters on all the viral, bacterial, fungal and protozoal microorganisms and arthropods transmitted by sexual contact. Its coverage of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and complications of HIV infection is excellent. -- Claire B. Panosian, MD, New England Journal of Medicine, Vol 342 No. 18, May 4, 2000<br>
