- Summary:
- The new third edition of this best-selling text presents interesting and challenging clinical cases to enhance the study of medical microbiology and infectious diseases. These diagnostic exercises enable students to develop a working knowledge of the variety of microorganisms that cause infections in humans.
- The 68 cases are presented as "unknowns," arranged by organ system, and reflect actual case histories the authors have encountered at two university teaching hospitals.
- Whenever possible, the authors have incorporated cellular microbiology into the case discussion. Over 100 photographs allow students to familiarize themselves with the appearance of specific microorganisms and symptoms in the clinical setting. An extensive glossary of medical terminology introduces students to the language of medicine and makes the cases accessible to all readers.
- Cases in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases is a valuable tool for students preparing for both the National Board of Medical Examiners examination Parts 1 and 2 as well as during clinical infectious disease rotations. Advanced undergraduate students, other professional students, physicians in training at both the resident and fellow stage, and faculty members at all levels will find Cases a valuable resource.
