The first of a range of four-colour textbooks for medical students, this book encompasses the clinical practice of infectious diseases as they occur in the hospital and community. It takes a problem-solving approach, which should appeal to those preparing for exams or working in the clinical setting, and is designed for use by senior medical students and junior doctors preparing for higher examinations. It is also a companion textbook for physicians, surgeons and public health doctors who are not specialists in infection, but often encounter infections as a problem in their own field of expertise. There are key points in marginal notes for definitions, practice points and emergencies. There is also a structured approach to each disease: microbiology, epidemiology, clinical features and diagnosis, and management strategies for prevention and control.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Infectious Disease is thoroughly recommended and should become a standard text for students and postgraduates"
Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists
"This book is very good value for students and anyone dealing with infectious diseases who need background reading. It sets a quality benchmark of illustrations, which other publishers should strive to follow."
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene
"...well organised, clear, and informative, with good illustrations. Key points are well highlighted. There are excellent clinical photographs of common and less common conditions" British Medical Journal
"This is a beautiful book. Great clinical pictures alongside concise text. So buy it." Surgo, Glasgow University Medical Journal
"Saves buying multiple books. Good description of lab and clinical-based detail allowing relevance to pre-clinical, clinical and post-graduate study." Freshwing, Freshers issue of Sheffield Medical School Gazette
"The text is clear, concise and easy to read. The use of colours and pictures are quite simply amazing and make the text extremely interesting. This book would quite simply be a pleasure to own and comes highly recommended." St Thomas' Medical Gazette
"Overall this is a very attractive book with clear diagrams, good clinical pictures and accessible text." St Mary's Medical Gazette
"This excellent book will give both undergraduate and postgraduate students of medicine a broad view of infectious diseases, and yet the text is written at a level of detail that is suitable for use in clinical practice." The Royal College of Pathologists Bulletin
"Overall this is a well-designed text which covers the subject of infectious disease in a way which is both extensive but more importantly accessible to the reader. It contains more information than several smaller textbooks that are available, and would sit happily on your bookshelf to be consulted at every opportunity." GKT - Guy's, King's & St. Thomas' Hospital Gazette
"I find 'Infectious Disease' particularly useful because of its definite clinical bias and use of interesting case histories. It would almost certainly be fair to say that this book is the Kumar and Clark of the infectious disease world." Sphincter - Liverpool Medical Students' Society gazette
