This timely book explores the growing range of infections which provide changing and often unfamiliar problems of recognition and management in the present world. The authors take a broad, practical approach that combines clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological aspects. Clinical photographs are included, as well as tabular summaries, algorithms, and recent epidemiological data. The infections discussed, which are grouped systematically by major syndrome, include many recently recognized problems such as AIDS and Lyme disease, imported and major tropical diseases, and the growing range of difficult infections resulting from new medical and surgical procedures, immunocompromise, the use of blood and blood products, and transplantation.
This textbook investigates the diagnostic and management challenges posed by the evolving landscape of infectious diseases in a modern clinical environment. The authors, a team of medical experts, synthesize clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological data to provide a comprehensive framework for identifying and treating both common and emerging pathogens. By organizing content around major syndromes, the text offers a practical methodology for clinicians facing complex patient presentations in contemporary healthcare settings.
