Synopsis

Diseases caused by infective agents provide challenging and often unfamiliar problems of recognition and management. This concise text provides a practical, systematic approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the main infectious diseases. It is liberally illustrated in color, and contains numerous tabular summaries, algorithms, and epidemiological data. This new edition has been extensively revised to cover changing patterns of infection, and advances in treatment and prevention. It has expanded the use of drugs and laboratories. Emphasis is given to the World Health Organization's recommendations for essential drug therapies. Although written primarily for medical students, Diseases of Infection will provide valuable information for physicians, nurses, and public health professionals.
