Infectious Diseases Emergencies is a compact reference that summarizes the key topics of those infectious disease processes that are most commonly seen in practice. The opening section reviews principles of management and general management of severe infection in acute and emergency environments.
The following sections provide a
head-to-toe
synopsis of common infections presenting in both outpatient and acute care settings.
The concluding sections
discuss vector borne infections, infections in special populations, and bioterrorism. Concisely written and consistently organized chapters outline the most useful elements of diagnosis and treatment for easy
memorization and clarity.
