This review is from: Case Files Microbiology, Second Edition (LANGE Case Files) (Paperback)

This book is an absolute must-have for medical students, clinical laboratory science students, and for anyone working in a microbiology-related field. It covers all of the organisms (bacterial and viral) that are likely to be encountered, and gives concise information on the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases they cause. I work in a microbiology lab, and the clinical information (symptoms) this book gives has helped me numerous times to determine what organism I should be looking for. Words cannot describe how helpful this book is! I would definitely give it a very high recommendation!
