"The quality of the text is excellent . . . Inflammatory Bowel
Disease serves as a superb resource for students, trainees, and
practitioners interested in the basic research underpinnings as
well as the current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to
ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease." (Gastroenterology,
2011)



"However this is a comprehensive text book with up to date data
and information embracing the gamut of inflammatory bowel disease
with much of interest for the family practitioner and specialist
dealing daily with this wide spectrum of disease. The infectious
origin chapter gives extensive cover to the cause, diagnosis and
management of diarrhoea which can plague returning world travellers
and be a difficult diagnostic problem for gps. and those working in
the travel health field. It will prove a useful library resource
for professionals looking for state of the art advice on diagnosis
and management relating to these conditions." (British Travel
Health Association, July 2010)
