| Description | Infectious diseases are the leading course of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Most common infections are treatable by anti-infective drugs or have a self-limited course that can be ameliorated by symptomatic therapy. The correct diagnosis must be established, usually on clinical grounds by a careful history and physical examination. If indicated the proper laboratory test must be obtained. And last, but certainly not least, effective treatment must be applied. What this small textbook provides is a quick and ready reference for most of the infections seen in medical practice, with expert guidance on these critical issues: definitions, epidemiology, aetiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, the principal basis of therapy, and prevention. This textbook is primarily intended for the foreign students of medical faculties |
