| Description |
Infectious diseases do not recognize geographic, political or social boundaries and health workers everywhere must and are collaborating in all aspects of investigation, diagnosis and control of these diseases. Infectious Diseases: Atlas, Cases, Text is more than simply an atlas; it provides the historical background of the disease and illustrates its manifestation by case presentations. Presented in a clinical cases style in keeping with problem based learning (PBL), each disease contains pertinent information relating to the diagnosis, clinical features/ presentation, treatment of the disease, while specialist comments add further weight to the text. Infectious diseases can be used as a reference resource but the historical vignettes and its writing style begs for it to read cover-to-cover for general interest. |
