Medical Microbiology for the New Curriculum: A Case–Based Approach

A case–based text of important and frequently encountered infectious diseases—a must–have for teachers and students
This text fills a unique niche created by the growing list of medical schools that have adopted the new curricula of case–based, interactive learning. Encompassing twenty–four clinically important and frequently encountered infectious diseases, the text provides all the necessary background and the most up–to–date treatment of the microbes that cause diseases in humans. Each fully illustrated case study is introduced with a patient history, differential diagnosis, clinical clues, laboratory data, pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention. Presented as unknowns, the cases challenge readers to create a differential diagnosis just as they would in practice, including noninfectious causes that could present similar clinical findings.
Richly illustrated with full–color photographs, line drawings, and tables, Medical Microbiology for the New Curriculum is geared toward first– and second–year medical students as well as faculty in microbiology, pathology, pharmacology, and infectious diseases. It also serves as a valuable resource for infectious disease fellows, pathology residents, and medical microbiologists.
