Cohen Jonathan. Infectious Disease

Second edition. — Elsevier, 2003. — 2700 p.In putting together this second edition we have looked rigorously at all parts of the book, restructuring where necessary, adding and updating material and inviting new editors to strengthen the team. The emergence of unsuspected clinical syndromes (West Nile fever in the USA is just one example), and unwanted challenges for infectious diseases physicians (sadly, the spectre of bioterrorism has found its way on to these pages) has resulted in new chapters and new authors. But we were also keen to continue the innovative approach that we took for the first edition, and have added a substantial new element to the book, the Infectious Diseases website.
Although this existed in a rudimentary form before, for this second edition Steven Opal has taken the lead in creating an extraordinary resource of material that will complement the book.Introduction to Infectious Diseases
