Case Studies in Infectious Disease Summary
Case Studies in Infectious Disease Reviews
a handsome, excellent book on most common pathogens, with a clear orientation to immunology, physiopathology, and microbiology ... It reads well and is an excellent textbook for medical students and a good source of illustrations, tables, and question ideas for teachers. Gary P. Wormser and Guillaume Beraud for Clinical Infectious Diseases.
a valuable compilation of information on the most common diseases that cause illness and death worldwide. The presentation format with distinct sections makes it readable and well suited for either students just learning about the pathogens causing infectious disease or clinicians who need an update. The level of detail is well thought out and gives the reader a useful summary of each pathogen and disease state. The condensed presentations make it a good reference source for those with insufficient time to read through more detailed textbooks. Philip S. Brachman for Emerging Infectious Disease.
