This clinically-oriented, user-friendly text is the best on the market for infectious disease. Complete and comprehensive, Schlossberg's text will be an effective reference for any practitioner who may encounter these afflictions. The orientation of the volume is multi-faceted: in addition to the traditional organization of organ system and pathogen-related information, this text includes specific sections on the susceptible host, travel-related infections, nosocomial infections, infections related to trauma, and bioterrorism. The information on post-surgical infections will be of great interest to practicing surgeons. Informative algorithms, tables, and high-quality color photographs supplement many of the chapters in this conveniently-sized volume. For practicality and ease of use, one can do no better than this guide to infectious disease.
