Published Reviews of the First Edition "This book is a brief and quick source for key features to common infectious diseases. It can be used for a brief overview, nothing more. It is easy to read and has somewhat helpful tables to assist with categorizing pathogens." MD, Creighton University Medical Center Doody's Book Reviews  Be the first to write a customer review
