商品簡介
In the first volume to describe using evidence-based medicine in the field, Loeb et al. (pathology and molecular medicine, clinical epidemiology and biostatistics, McMaster U., Canada) compile 19 chapters that address the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases, for general internists and trainees. Using a case format, the chapters address both the methodological issues in assessing quality of evidence and the best evidence for specific diseases like meningitis, diarrhea, and pneumonia, and infections in populations and settings like healthcare workers, general surgery, and thermally injured patients. This edition has been updated and revised, with new chapters on influenza, critical care, and infections in long-term care, and a new section on acquired infection in transplantation. Updates have been made to chapters on HIV, febrile neutropenia, tuberculosis, and bone and joint, sexually transmitted, and urinary tract infections. Contributors work in infectious diseases, surgery, epidemiology, and other medical fields, around the world. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
