Overview: niquely practical text teaching the skills needed for the diagnosis of infectious diseases through a case-based approach
The newly revised and updated Fifth Edition of Cases in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases enables students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the diverse pathogenic microorganisms that infect humans. This interactive text challenges readers to grasp both fundamental concepts and practical information on clinical importance presented in medical microbiology or infectious disease courses.
The cases in this textbook are presented as “unknowns” and represent actual clinical cases. This edition features a revised case format that progressively reveals details between questions, mirroring the real-world process of deciphering complex medical cases, offering an immersive and authentic understanding of how infectious diseases are diagnosed and managed. Questions are interspersed with case details to test knowledge across various areas, including the organism’s characteristics, laboratory diagnosis, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, epidemiology, prevention, and, in some cases, drug resistance and treatment. Each case concludes with a brand new “Key Learning Points” section that emphasizes and reinforces important takeaways for the reader in succinct, digestible statements.
