  This timely book explores the growing range of infections which provide changing and often unfamiliar problems of recognition and management in the present world. The authors take a broad, practical approach that combines clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological aspects. Clinical photographs are included, as well as tabular summaries, algorithms, and recent epidemiological data. The infections discussed, which are grouped systematically by major syndrome, include many recently recognized problems such as AIDS and Lyme disease, imported and major tropical diseases, and the growing range of difficult infections resulting from new medical and surgical procedures, immunocompromise, the use of blood and blood products, and transplantation.

  Diseases caused by infective agents provide challenging and often unfamiliar problems of recognition and management. This concise text provides a practical, systematic approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the main infectious diseases. It is illustrated in colour, and contains numerous tabular summaries, algorithms and epidemiological data. This new edition has been extensively revised to cover changing patterns of infection, and advances in treatment and prevention. It contains expanded sections on HIV-associated infections, imported and tropical diseases, and the use of drugs and laboratories. Emphasis is given to the World Health Organization's recommendations for essential drug therapies. Although written primarily for medical students, Diseases of Infection should provide valuable information for medical graduates, nurses, and public health professionals.
