內容簡介
This book is for junior doctors and general practitioners who need a concise overview of infectious disease. Section One introduces infectious disease and microbiology. Section Two, on clinical syndromes, adopts a systematic approach, and comprises the bulk of the book. Fourteen chapters cover the infections commonly encountered in each body system, with sections devoted to AIDS and the common venereal diseases. Each clinical syndrome is presented under consistent headings of: epidemiology and transmission; pathogenesis; clinical features; prognosis; management; immunity and prevention. Section Three outlines the organisms and the specific infections that they cause. Section Four consists of tabulated information on the safe–prescribing of antibiotics, and is followed by a section of appendices that outline immunization schedules and choice antibiotics for common clinical situations, and a glossary.
