Infectious Diseases A Clinical Short Course 3/E (In Thirty Days Series)
<h4>LEARN THE PRINCIPLES OF CLINICAL INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN JUST THIRTY DAYS</h4> <p><i>Infectious Diseases: A Clinical Short COURSE</i> is a concise overview of this important field designed to help the busy physician, medical student, nurse practitioner, and physician assistant to understand, diagnose, and treat common infectious diseases. This unique self-instruction book is organized by system/region as opposed to pathogens—simulating how common pathogens and disorders would be encountered in rounds or in practice.</p> <p>By indicating the number of days that should be allotted to the study of each chapter, the author has created a schedule for completion of each lesson. A wide array of tables that summarize the methods of clinical assessment, anti-infective agent doses, and drug toxicities--facts that do not require memorization, but do need to be referred to when caring for patients--facilitate this condensed learning schedule. There is no better resource for learning to associate pathogens with the corresponding impact on patients than Infectious Diseases.</p> <p><b>FEATURES</b></p> <ul> <li>Key Points summarize the most important facts when managing each infection and facilitate board review</li> <li>Guiding Questions begin each chapter</li> <li>An estimate of the potential severity of each disease gives you a sense of how quickly you should initiate treatment</li> <li>Numerous case examples highlight real-world clinical application of the content</li> <li>Dozens of color plates depict major pathogens</li> <li>All chapters have been updated to reflect the most current treatment and diagnostic guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Society of America</li> <li>NEW!
