Now in its thoroughly revised, updated Fifth Edition, this handbook is a practical, easily accessible, and authoritative guide to the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. Leading experts present realistic clinical approaches to infectious disease problems seen in hospital and outpatient settings and offer up-to-the-minute advice on antimicrobial use--including specific recommendations on dosages, routes of administration, and duration of therapy. Chapters are written in a user-friendly outline format that is ideal for quick reference. This edition includes complete information on new diseases, new antibiotics, and HIV antiviral agents.


Review:

Concise book for reading

This handbook is easy to approach. It provides general information about infectious diseases, although not comprehensive in detail. For medical students and those who are not specialists of infectious diseases, this book is the one that you can buy and read.




Review:

Useful information readily available

A Practical Approach to Infectious Diseases offers the medical resident and ID fellow a thorough yet accessible and practical resource for dealing with commonly encountered ID problems. The section of STD's is particularly informative as are the sections on Bone and Joint Infections and UTI's.

The major texts for ID are often cumbersome to find the exact information needed. This text however is easily referenced with discrete chapters and excellent references at the end of each chapter if a more comprehensive review is desired.

I recommend A Practical Approach to Infectious Diseases for medical residents and ID fellows. These individuals need easily accessible, concrete and precise information which this text provides very nicely.
