Description of Infection Microbiology and Management
Infection: Microbiology and Management encompass the management of infections in both the hospital and the community. It has been designed as a problem-solving text, which will be equally useful both to those preparing for examinations and to those working in the clinical setting. The introductory section sets out the important definitions required for the understanding of infectious diseases, their origins and routes of transmission to humans, their diagnosis, management, and control.
The presentation, diagnosis, and management of individual diseases are described in the systematic chapters. Each chapter introduces the range of diseases that can affect the relevant system and lists the pathogens responsible for each presentation in approximate order of importance. For each individual pathogen, the epidemiology and microbiology, clinical presentations and diagnosis, and strategies for prevention and control are described.
