Summary:

Here's a compact, yet thorough source for up-to-date guidance on the prevention, diagnosis, and management of a full range of infectious diseases from around the world. Focusing on syndromes and patient management, rather than pathogens, Therapy of Infectious Diseases features a practical, "what-to-do" focus that's ideal for busy clinicians. Wherever possible, you'll find management guidelines based on the best available outcomes data. And, in areas where the clinical evidence is inconclusive, you can still depend on the expert recommendations of the book's contributors -- who rank among the most respected authorities in the field. Well referenced and pragmatic, Therapy of Infectious Diseases puts today's most reliable clinical approaches at your fingertips.
