  • About the Book

    Book Summary

    Case Studies in Infectious Disease presents forty case studies featuring the most important human infectious diseases worldwide. Written for students of microbiology and medicine, this book describes the natural history of infection from point of entry of the pathogen through pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. The use of real clinical cases serves to reinforce and extend the basic science.

    This standardized approach provides the reader with a logical basis for understanding these diverse and medically important organisms, fully integrating microbiology and immunology throughout.

    Features

    • The 270 full-color illustrations are available in JPEG and PowerPoint® format.
    • In the contents section, diseases are listed alphabetically under the causative agent. A separate table categorizes the pathogens as bacteria, viral, protozoal/worm/fungal and acts as a guide to the relative involvement of each body system affected.
    • Each case answers five core questions and concludes with a bullet-point summary of these same key questions:
      • What is the causative agent, how does it enter the body, and how does it spread within the body and from person to person?
      • What is the host response and what is the disease pathogenesis?
      • What is the typical clinical presentation and what complications can occur?
      • How is the disease diagnosed, and what is the differential diagnosis?
      • How is it managed and prevented?
    • Each case has multiple-choice questions for self-testing with the answers given in the back of the book. Each case ends with a complete set of references, suggestions for further reading, and a list of relevant websites.
    • A comprehensive glossary allows rapid access to the microbiology and medical terms highlighted in bold in the text.
