Full Description
Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious Diseases summarizes practical content in infectious diseases using keys topics for better coding and grasping of material. The book's author uses his experience from over 15 years of teaching and working in infectious diseases in more than ten hospitals with thousands of patients as a backdrop. All of its contents use a clinical perspective for a wide range of audiences, such as medical students, general practitioners, nurses, and others. As infectious diseases are among the most common diseases, and a cause of death in many societies, they can create health challenges in developed and developing countries.
Medical students have a limited time for infectious diseases rotation in their curriculum and may not learn many infectious diseases syndromes during their entire medical course. Also, due to the high volume of infectious disease subjects in textbooks which overlap symptoms and signs of many microorganisms, they may forget some of the materials. Therefore, access to a comprehensive compact book such as this one seems necessary for any medical staff.
