Editorial Reviews
Review
"The author has done a service to the infectious disease community by writing a book that can be used in an infectious disease elective. The chapters in this book are designed to complement patient-oriented teaching. Although there are some minor editing oversights, the overall quality of this first edition is excellent. Certainly, it is in keeping with the goal of preventing the "end of the antibiotic era." This book is recommended for individuals in infectious disease electives and those desiring to review basic infectious disease principles." (Doody's )

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very time efficient book that gets straight to the point,
By James Davis (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Infectious Diseases in 30 Days (Paperback)
I came across this book randomly in my medical school library and was a bit leary of it because of the title. "XYZ in 30 days" type titles sound hokey to me, but the book itself is anything but. The main strength of the text is its clear, logical approach in explaining the various infectious disease syndromes. Very straightforward, great summaries of key points every few pages, and insightful, readily understandable diagrams (and good photos). Too many books written for med students present similar material but too heavily from the perspective of basic microbiology (genetics, virulence factors up the ying-yang, research speculations, etc) which is generally NOT useful for medical students (when in excess). We primarily need to know clinical presentation, course of illness, diagnostic criteria, and treatment protocols. For these categories this book is wonderful and hard to beat. It also balances this with the obligatory basic microbiology but it is not in excess and seemingly always clinically relevant.

3.0 out of 5 stars
DEPENDABLE REVISION TEXT,
By VAL ODUENYI (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Infectious Diseases in 30 Days (Paperback)
Let it be known that I would have rated this book higher, had it not been for the frequency of its typographical errors. Its editors and/or authors should try and do a better job in subsequent editions. But that apart, this revisional text accomplishes what it was designed to do. The message of this book is simple, precise, and self-explanatory.
Infectious diseases and their etiologic agents are daunting to study or master, and that is where the beauty of this book comes into play. Despite being a revisional text (on its own right), the authors of this book endeavored to include summarized key-points at the end of every topic they discussed. Thus, the book is an impressive blend of patient care and time management tool. "Infectious Disease in 30 Days" is a time-efficient book, which covered a wide range of diseases. It is self-instructional, and offers illustrative information without beating about the bush. Its guidance ramified epidemiology, diagnostics, pedagogical tools, and in-depth anti-microbial therapeutics. Every chapter of it makes learning seem effortless; although, a number of topics pertaining to fungal diseases were overtly summarized. Overall, it is a good revisional handbook, which students would appreciate and depend on in time-critical periods.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Goal-oriented,
By
This review is from: Infectious Diseases in 30 Days (Paperback)
I am currently a fourth year medical student on an infectious disease rotation. I find this book fairly helpful, notably the first chapter where it pretty much sums up everything you forgot from your microbiology course. The chapters are generally written well, but (as the publishers claim) a lot is really a review. So, if you want a brief overview of HIV/AIDs, this is the text to use, but if you want to know in depth HAART therapy, you might want to try something else. It is a fairly large book, which makes me unenthusiastic to carry around - a minus for those on-the-go medical students. As a supplement (and if you are working a consult service), I found the Washington Manual(R) Infectious Diseases Subspecialty Consult book to be very helpful.
