Updated and fully revised version of the infection section from the world-renowned Oxford Textbook of Medicine 5e
121 chapters by world experts reviewing the essentials of present-day infectious diseases practice, reflecting the globalisation of diseases resulting from unprecedented international travel, immigration and natural/man-made disasters requiring massive international aid efforts
Covering topics including Pathogenic microorganisms and the host; The patient with suspected infection; Immunization; Travel and expedition medicine; Viruses; Bacteria; Fungi; Protazoa; Nematodes; Cestodes; tremadodes; Nonvenomous arthropods and Pentastomiasis on a truly global scale.
Includes over 250 full colour clinical images with numerous graphical representations of disease distribution
Updated since publication in 2011 to include topics such as E. coli 1040 STEC DT multi-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (e.g. NDM-1), responses to threat of pandemic influenza and continuing emergence of new pathogens
Highly relevant for those taking Diploma courses in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and in HIV medicine
Fully updated and revised
Includes E. coli 1040 STEC, multi-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (e.g. NDM-1), responses to threat of pandemic influenza, and the continuing emergence of new pathogens
This Oxford Textbook of Infectious and Tropical Diseases is derived from the Oxford Textbook of Medicine 5e, the foremost international textbook of medicine. The text has been updated and revised to offer a uniquely comprehensive coverage focusing on offering practical guidenace on present-day clinical management and the prevention of a wide range of familiar and emerging infectious and tropical diseases. The textbook is illustrated in full colour throughout.
