Description
Problem-Based Microbiology provides an in-depth exploration of 91 common infectious diseases through real-life case studies. This textbook presents a comprehensive overview of how these diseases affect specific organ systems, followed by clinical case scenarios, differential diagnosis tables, and explanations of the underlying infectious process. The book features over 350 full-color illustrations and images of clinical disease to reinforce written material, as well as summary tables of important diseases caused by the infecting organism. To promote active learning, each case study is presented as an unknown, with differential diagnosis tables and rationales provided to help build a foundation of knowledge for clinical practice. This concise textbook also includes USMLE-style practice questions to help prepare for exams, making it an ideal resource for those studying microbiology or preparing for the USMLE step 1 and 2 exams.
