More than 30 newly emerged microorganisms and related diseases have been discovered in the past 20 years. Since these infections are so new, even infectious diseases experts and clinical microbiologists need more information. This book covers recently emerged infectious diseases based on real cases and provides comprehensive information including different aspects of the infections. Written in a ‘teaching’ style, this book is of interest to every medical specialist and student.

  • Includes more than 35 emerging infection cases based on the following criteria:
    newly emerged or re-emerged
    recently acquired significance in clinical practice
    recently radically changed in case management
  • Offers a balanced synthesis of basic and clinical sciences for each individual case, presenting clinical courses of the cases in parallel with the pathogenesis and detailed microbiological information for each infection
  • Describes the prevalence and incidence of the global issues and current therapeutic approaches
  • Presents the measures for infection control

Arvustused

"...an easy-to-use, extraordinarily informative text that belongs on every clinicians shelfit highlights areas where there are gaps in our knowledge...an apropos read for any clinician who carries a pager." --Clinical Infectious Diseases"...a comprehensive review of both new and old infectious diseases, primarily endemic diseases that occur in specific geographic areas of the world...a reference that should be readily available in medical libraries throughout the world. Rating: 78 - 3 Stars" --Doody's.com, 2015
