Kreis has written a well arranged treatise on intestinal parasites in man. The presentation is clear even though slightly burdened by material unusual in a consideration of this subject.
The book has four main divisions: (1) a section on the structure and life cycle of helminths, pathologic changes observed in man and general remarks concerning therapy and prophylaxis, (2) a section on diagnosis of helminthiasis, (3) a special section considering the distribution, pathologic process, therapy and prophylaxis in relation to each parasite and (4) a final section dealing with the synonyms of each parasite and a tabular recapitulation of the important data presented in sections 1 and 2.
While it would be difficult for the clinician to read this book in its entirety, it should prove most valuable for frequent reference.
