Discusses infectious diseases according to organ systems that may be affected, as well as individually by microorganisms, placing emphasis on clinical manifestations that may be related to the organism causing the disease
Provides detailed information regarding the best means to establish a diagnosis, explicit recommendations for therapy, and the most appropriate uses of diagnostic imaging
Includes expanded information on Q fever, antibiotic resistance and antibiotic agents, human coronaviruses, pox viruses, and infections in the compromised host, and contains new COVID-19 content across numerous chapters
Features a new chapter on antimicrobial stewardship, and new coverage of antivirals for pox viruses
Reflects today’s more aggressive infectious and antibiotic-resistant organisms as well as emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases
