Current Therapy of Infectious Disease

Every aspect of infectious disease therapy is addressed in 200 brief, yet highly informative chapters written by leading authorities in the field. Differential diagnosis is also emphasized. A unique section titled Environmental Risks and Clues addresses fever in the returning traveller, systemic infections from animals and recreational water exposure. Practitioners who treat infectious disease also will gain great value from an appendix of over 150 tables listing antimicrobial agents and summarizing in quick-reference style their dosages, costs, toxicities, and contraindications.
