Key Features
Focuses on helping the scientist-, health professional- and clinician-in-training develop a current, complete, and deeper understanding of bacteriology, immunology, virology, mycology, and parasitology, and answer the question: What information do I need to know that will help me understand how to treat an infected patient?
Contains anew section of eight chapters on Infectious Diseases by Organ System for optimized clinical context
Includes clinical photographs and cases to correlate basic science with examples of clinical syndromes
Provides quick reference for efficient study with excellent illustrations, chapter summaries, key information organized in convenient tables, and review questions
Offers additional learning resources online, including over 200 self-assessment questions, microscopic images of the microbes, and more
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text and figures, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
Evolve Instructor site with an image and test bank is available to instructors through their Elsevier sales rep or via request at https://evolve.elsevier.com.
