What is tropical medicine?
tropical medicine is a medical industry devoted to study, prevention and treatment of health conditions that often occur in tropical areas and developing countries. Specialists in tropical medicine can focus their studies and work on the treatment of so -called tropical diseases such as malaria, cholera and ebola. Although these conditions do not necessarily have to be caused by tropical climate, as many of them prevailed in countries with different climate before modernization, they remain a significant problem in the developing world. Practical tropical medicine can work in the developing world or can practice in developed countries. The spread of various bacteria, parasites and viruses contaminated with water for tests may result in chronic diarrhea, which can be fatal in children, elderly and those who already experience endangered health. Some of these parasites and bacteria, such as T. Gondia, may also have an adverse effect on the fruits of infected pregnant women. Tropical medicine and medicine disaster can oftenOverlap when natural or artificial disasters hit third world countries, which further stretches health care sources.

Vzhledem k tomu, že mnoho lékařů v rozvinutých zemích může být neznámé s tropickými chorobami, může být při léčbě pacienta zásadní konzultace s specialistou na tRopic medicine.
There is some controversy about using tropical medicine. Since tropical diseases may exist and spread in non -neutropic climate and the inability to control or eliminate these diseases is often the result of lack of financial and technological resources, as well as suitable social policy. While temperature and humidity can worsen these conditions, the climate is not the only defining characteristics of tropical diseases. As a result, some now refer to tropical medicine as a third world medicine.
