This is an internationally edited and authored textbook of infectious diseases. It is structured to emphasize the approaches to be taken in recognition, diagnosis, and treatment when infections involve different organ systems or become generalized. Besides infectious diseases of different organ systems, those involving special risk groups (e.g. post operative, the burned patient, the transplant patient, and the patient with HIV infection) are also described and developed. Antimicrobial agents are discussed individually and then summarized in helpful tables that address specific infections. This practical text should appeal particularly to students, residents, or primary care practitioners who treat patients with infection.
