Diagnosis and Management of Infection

Infection is a problem in most hospital services, and this book aims to be of practical help to non-specialists from a variety of disciplines. It provides in-depth coverage of the classical infectious diseases, important tropical diseases and hospital-acquired infections and their management, and includes an extensive section on antimicrobial chemotherapy. As the first text to cover all the material in one volume, it should be of great value to senior members of the training grades in hospital medicine and microbiology, and will also be useful to bacteriologists in training in providing the clinical background they may lack.
