With more than 200 portable and concise flash cards, this excellent review resource is the perfect option and quick review for this exam. Simple to use, students read the featured clinical case on one side and test their disease knowledge by answering to the patient’s symptoms presented in each case. Flipping over the card, the answers to the correct diagnosis, a review of the basic science, clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the disorder are on the other side.

Don't waste your money!!!,
This review is from: Lange Flash Cards Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (Cards)
These cards are not at all what flash-cards should be. It is more like a text with the information placed on cards. Not good for memorizing the facts associated with each organism.
Furthermore, the cards are "titled" by the pathological disease NOT by microorganism. For instance if you wanted a card for Staph aureus, with the morphology, normal flora, toxins, etc ... it doesn't have it. Instead it will have a card for the most common pathology that staph will be associated with. The Lange card series are excellent for Path and Pharm (both of which I have), but they missed the boat on this one. For your info, I have finished 2nd year and studying for step 1.

The best Micro cards,
By IntCards (Tulsa, OK United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lange Flash Cards Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (Cards)
I must disagree with the previous reviews. These cards are great. FA covers the bare necessities, and these will help associated case presentations/pathology with the microorganisms. Micro can be a tough area for some, just bc of all the obscure names and associations. I recommend reading High Yield Micro, then moving to FA to re-emphasize the HY info. Finally, use these cards as continual refreshers as you move through other areas (like pathology - where they come in handy).
