Reviews
Review from previous edition Covers all the bases well, with no major topic omitted. The authors' style is very student friendly and, sometimes, almost conversational in tone. This makes the book very easy to read. Layout is also user friendly with good use of tables/graphs/pictures. Reminders at each chapter end and appendices are also useful. Professor Kevin Kerr, Harrogate District Hospital. It is very comprehensive and covers most viruses that we encounter in clinical practice. I like the way how the chapters are divided into different types of viruses, its properties and clinical aspects of diseases. Chapter 7 is particularly useful as it mentions virus interaction in the community. Epidemiology is still an aspect that many people take for granted, but I think its an important element in virology. Dr Norzeihan Jan Bappu, Foundation 1 Doctor.
