Rezensionen

"The book aims to be a resource that makes learning about specific infectious diseases syndromes both digestible and understandable for learners, so that they can be comfortable with diagnosing and managing common infections. ... This book also would be an excellent reference for infectious diseases specialists to use as a basis for lectures when teaching in a formal medical education curriculum."
