In introducing these 40 contributed chapters, Tan (internal medicine, Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine) comments that it is increasingly difficult for physicians to keep up with new antimicrobial agents and other advances in clinical microbiology. This guide therefore reviews the latest diagnostic techniques for the most commonly encountered diseases, with supporting tables on aspects of laboratory testing and treatment. Sections cover conditions of every bodily system plus immunocompromise-related infections, herpes, Lyme disease, and malaria. They do not treat introduced anthrax or smallpox. Annotation c.
