Netter's infectious diseases
(eBook)

English

Includes bibliographical references.

As longtime colleagues in the Division of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the School of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, we were honored and challenged by the unique opportunity to create a new textbook of infectious diseases, with the goal of utilizing the beautiful medical artwork created by the late Dr. Frank H. Netter to teach and clarify important concepts in infectious diseases. Mindful of existing textbooks, such as Mandell's Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases , that are considered authoritative as well as standards of excellence in the field, we set out to create a new resource with a strongly clinical orientation; the first edition of Netter's Infectious Diseases made its debut in 2012. This second edition continues our purpose: to provide healthcare providers, both generalists and specialists, with up-to-date clinical approaches to the broad spectrum of infectious diseases from the perspective of how these various infections may impact patients as individuals, members of communities, and as citizens of global society.
