Review
"Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases is an authoritative, current reference work. It is comprehensive, and the knowledge contained is readily searchable and accessible. This book is extremely useful to clinicians due to its well thought out organization. It is a valuable reference book that contains knowledge on all aspects of infectious diseases, including their ocular manifestations. I highly recommend it for all eye-care professionals."
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, February 2006
"Whichever option is chosen, the reader will have the most complete infectious diseases reference available.
No other text comes close."

5.0 out of 5 stars
A good clinical microbiology text,
By
This review is from: Mandell, Douglas, and Bennett's Principles & Practice of Infectious Diseases (2 Vol. Set) (Hardcover)
The two volume set is indeed a comprehensive reference work, but individual chapter can be read by themselves. I use this book on almost a daily basis, the only negative against it is that such a large book by its size can only be updated at intervals of a number of years so a folder in which to put your acculated journal articles next to it, until the next edition is advised as, infectious diseases is not a static field. Since there is a CD rom available now that may well be worth checking out. In closing for anybody involved in anything from clinical microbiology to a infectious disease specialist this book is a must.

Infectious Disease Bible,
By
This review is from: Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases: 2-Volume Set (Hardcover)
I am a hospital pharmacist. An infectious disease pharmacist showed me how much you could find in the previous edition of this book when I was doing a residency. Because many of the patients get admitted to the hospital due to some type of infection, this book has been invaluable in helping me understand details of any disease state. It has helped me understand antibiotic drug therapies and the reasons behind them more than any other written resource. And most importantly, it is a known and respected reference to the hospitalists that I can refer to modifying drug therapies or answering drug information questions related to infectious diseases.
It may seem expensive, but it has laid down multiple blueprints for looking at the complicated field of infectious diseases. I encourage anyone who is going into the field of pharmacy to make sure they can at least access these books.

Amazing reviews of infectious diseases,
By
This review is from: Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases: 2-Volume Set (Hardcover)
This book is the mother of books about infectious diseases all around the world! This is an obligatory book that has to be on your library. Has excellent reviews of the majority of illnesses with great quality images. Even this version of the book includes a CD with images info to make your own presentations. Currently, I think is the best book about Infectious diseases.
