Abstract
The reader may well ask why we have written another book on tropical dermatology, when at least two good ones currently exist1,2 and two others could be useful to dermatologists.3,4 Are there not already too many books on various subjects related to dermatology? Why should two dermatologists working on opposite sides of the world undertake this apparently unnecessary task?
