Product Description
Infectious disease ranks only behind trauma in the prevalence of cases seen on a daily basis in the emergency room and takes lives from every culture and socioeconomic class. The changing epidemiology of infectious diseases is a considerable challenge to any physician, as acute, nearly eradicated, and tropical diseases now enter American emergency rooms on a daily basis. This book is a new clinically oriented reference book for the management of such infections in the emergency room and focuses on all diagnostic protocols and treatment strategies that emergency room physicians need to be proficient when managing patients battling infectious disease. The orientation of the book is uniquely organ-based, with coverage of all viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic disease. The narrative is supplemented with explanatory photos, diagnostic tables, and charts of drug regimens and will prove an invaluable reference for physicians confronting the various manifestations of infectious disease.

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This new text is a concise and practical reference which will assist any medical or nursing professional in the diagnosis and treatment of ID. The information is arranged in categories of: epidemiology, causative organisms, signs/symptoms, lab & rad findings, differential DX's, treatment & prophylaxis, complications & admission criteria, and pearls & pitfalls. Each disease process is parsimoniously explained in 2-3 pages, which further elevates its purpose as a diagnostic and treatment tool. This text is a GREAT, and VERY current reference.
