✦ Synopsis

The only study guide that is current on basic infections disease fundamentals
Written by experts in both adult and pediatric infections
Each chapter follows a consistent format for ease of use
Can serve as a standalone book or as a complement to a larger book accompanying a course, such as Introduction to Clinical Infectious Diseases
The chapters and writing style parallel the larger textbook with an additional 15 topics covered

This book is meticulously designed for the busy student, trainee, or seasoned physician looking to enhance or refresh skills in infectious diseases. It is intended to provide a solid resource for students and physicians in need of a concise yet comprehensive background of the material. Each chapter begins with a summary of the topic, a brief case description, definitions, critical teaching points, and tables, figures, photos, and other visual materials to reinforce learning. The chapters take a systems based approach to infections before concluding with the essentials of diagnostic microbiology to leave users with a practical toolkit for real-world clinics.
Authored by two expert educators and dual infectious diseases and pediatrics specialists, Clinical Infectious Diseases Study Guide is the only updated study guide designed for medical students, fellows, residents, and trainees who need a strong foundation in infectious diseases. This includes infectious disease specialists in both adult and pediatric care, various internal medicine subspecialists, and hospitalists.
