Focused on course exams and the USMLE, and fully updated to reflect current thinking and questions, these 50 case files include detailed presentations, diagnostic questions, clinical correlation, approaches (including objectives and definitions), diagnosis, treatment and prevention, a set of comprehension questions along with answers, and microbiology "pearls." However, this goes beyond merely asking and answering questions, as the editors offer articles on applying the basic sciences to clinical medicine and antimicrobial therapy, all cases include comprehensive references and many cases include clinical photographs. Indices are arranged to ensure readers can locate cases, disorders and symptoms. Designed as an exam study guide, this also works as a study outline or supplemental reading for courses and as a refresher. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
