Overview

Provides a detailed, evidence-based overview of a range of topics necessary for understanding infectious diseases. It is primarily aimed to offer important background on regional disease epidemiology, pathogenesis, social, and ethical aspects of disease control through the use of specific antimicrobial agents and preventive vaccines. Different aspects of infectious disease are addressed and each chapter begins with an annotation of key terms, and definitions and finishes with a concrete summary, using bullet points. The excellent tables and illustrative figures in each chapter are presented with useful proactive diagnostic essentials including nonculture-based molecular advances for early diagnosis and appropriate management. Thirty different chapters are dealt from subject matters on antibiotic uses, vaccine prevention strategies for all ages, and disease transmission control in hospital care environments. The second edition provides wealth of timely information and up-to-date overview of the commonly encountering infectious diseases in the clinical practice. Includes material on the most important newly emerging and re-emerging diseases. Each chapter is amply illustrated with photographs and figures provide unparalleled visual guidance. Contains reference tables with differential diagnoses, laboratory diagnoses and treatment aspects. Valuable appendices provide cross reference information for each of the bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic diseases.
