Description
This text is designed to be a thorough introduction to the problems of medical disease in pregnancy and is backed by a comprehensive list of up-to-date references for those who wish to pursue particular points in more detail. Chapters teach the principles of care and an appreciation of the natural history of a disease. This approach aims to help the reader to cope when faced with a problem in an unfamiliar specialty or one which has not been encountered before. A new chapter on skin diseases in pregnancy has been added and a chapter on infectious diseases has been expanded to include the problem of AIDS.
