Clinical Medicine was first published in 1987 and has since become firmly established in medical schools across the world. Well over a million copies have been sold worldwide. We are delighted with its success and strive constantly to ensure the content is what is required by medical students, trainees, healthcare professionals and practising doctors. Our readers worldwide provide us with a great deal of feedback and advice on a regular basis and this is incorporated into the book. We are very grateful for your input. The previous two editions of Kumar & Clark’s Clinical Medicine won first prize in the BMA Book Awards Medicine Category. The judges described the seventh edition as ‘the primary, must-have textbook for any budding doctor, and is the “gold-standard” thorough guide to clinical medicine its forefathers were’. The eighth edition continues to strive for excellence. We hope that we have managed to provide what is frequently highly complex information in an accessible and concise fashion. As well as focusing on the foundations of medicine, we aim to keep abreast of the many rapid developments in our chosen profession. Medicine continues to develop and improve at an astonishing rate. New technologies have impacted on diagnostic processes, and targeted therapies have been designed for many conditions. Knowledge gained from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) has been a major influence in identifying the genetic markers of several diseases. Yet some diseases continue to pose a challenge; causation may not be a single gene but multifactorial to include environmental factors. All these aspects of genetic medicine are fully discussed throughout the book. There is no doubt that, with fast air travel across the world, infectious diseases are now truly global. Distribution, incidence and prevalence of these diseases may vary from country to country but the threat of pandemics is ever present. Infection control is not only a local issue but a worldwide challenge that involves us all. Non-communicable diseases are also on the increase. These include obesity and diabetes, which are increasing at an alarming rate, not only in the Western world but also in developing countries as they become more affluent. To allow for fuller discussion of diseases posing particular problems to specific parts of the world, our online resource contains chapters written by members of our International Advisory Board covering topics impacting significantly both on their practice and on students and doctors choosing to travel to experience medicine in different parts of the world. In many parts of the world the doctor–patient relationship is becoming more of a partnership, with the patient being involved in the decision-making process. Treatments are being individualized and modified to suit patients’ lifestyles, leading to increased success in concordance. These changing aspects of medical care are highlighted where appropriate throughout the book. Finally, we would like to thank very warmly all our colleagues and readers who continue to bombard us with new ideas and suggestions. We are most grateful for this - it helps keep the book alive and right up to date! This book will support WaterAid (www.wateraid.org).

This is new edition of the book previously called Acute Clinical Medicine in the highly popular Kumar and Clark family. Cases in Clinical Medicine covers in handbook form the complete range of acute medical conditions and problems that junior doctors are likely to encounter during the first years of training. It is divided into chapters reflecting core medical specialties - including infectious diseases; STD; gastroenterology; etc. Each chapter is then subdivided into case-based problems, such as (for example) pyrexia of unknown origin (under the Infectious Disease Group), HIV/Aids (under STD) and Vomiting and Weight Loss (under Gastroenterology). Each problem follows a standard pattern or template: it begins with a case history, and is accompanied by short, succinct text divided up by headings such as 'What are the commonest causes of...'; What factors predispose to...' Where relevant there are also sections on pathology, pathophysiology and prognosis. Important points to note in the acute context are picked out in boxes ('Beware', 'Remember!' and 'Information') as are vital investigations.
