- Summary:
- This full-color atlas is the ideal quick consult for clinicians treating gynecologic and obstetric infections. It contains over 200 images to help clinicians recognize, diagnose, and treat a wide range of infectious diseases. Coverage begins with specific organisms-including Streptococci, Chlamydial infections, herpes simplex virus, and sexually transmitted diseases-and proceeds to specific diagnostic guidance for all common gynecologic and obstetric infections. Full-color illustrations aid in identifying definitive visual manifestations of infectious diseases. Abundant tables and graphs summarize essential facts on diagnosis and treatment. Cross-references to the textbook Infectious Diseases of the Female Genital Tract, Fourth Edition direct readers to additional information.
