Offering more in-depth coverage of epidemiology, etiology, pathology, microbiology, immunology, and treatment of infectious agents than any other infectious disease resource, Mandell, Douglas, and Bennett's Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases, 10th Edition, remains your #1 choice for authoritative, comprehensive information in this challenging field. Meticulously updated by a new editorial team of Drs. Martin J. Blaser, Jeffrey I. Cohen, and Steven M. Holland, this two-volume masterwork brings together the knowledge and expertise of more than 650 contributing authors who are outstanding scholars and experts in their fields. For ID specialists and general practitioners alike, PPID provides a balanced, detailed perspective for any patient you encounter with a complex or difficult-to-treat infectious disease.
    • Organizes content both by individual pathogens and by important clinical syndromes, broadening the context to clearly present relevant, complex clinical information
    • Contains multiple new chapters on both SARS-CoV-2 and anti-fungal therapy, as well as new chapters on bacteriophages and related agents, infections following traumatic injuries, communication to the public about infectious diseases, and the effects of climate change on infectious diseases
    • Provides up-to-date coverage of recent advances in the field: an increasing understanding of the agents, immune responses, and the growing armamentarium of diagnostics (such as nucleic acid amplification and next-generation sequencing); new treatments (such as monoclonal antibodies, new antifungals, antivirals, and phage therapy); and emerging preventive measures (such as new vaccines being developed for RSV), and our relationship with the human microbiome
    • Features more than 1,500 high-quality, full-color photographs―with many new to this edition
    • Shares the extensive experience of new editors Drs. Jeffrey I. Cohen and Steven M. Holland, both from Bethesda, MD, as well as a new team of expert associate editors Drs. Yohei Doi, Wendy S. Garrett, Ann R. Falsey, Eleanor Wilson, Kieren Marr, and Edward Mitre—each a leading authority in their field
    • Includes perspectives from hundreds of leading experts from a truly global community, including authors from Australia, Canada, and countries in Europe, Asia, and South America
    • Includes regular updates online for the life of the edition
    • An eBook version is included with purchase.

      • All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
Most review copies are eBooks – how fast!
A review copy request is most likely to be fulfilled as an eBook on VitalSource rather than a print product, unless no eBook is available. eBooks become available in as little as a few hours. Print products will take between 7 and 10 days to arrive. To request a print copy, please contact us through the Evolve Support Center for further assistance or contact your Elsevier Sales Rep.
