Infectious Diseases: A Clinical Short Course, Second Edition (LANGE Clinical Medicine) 2nd Edition (2007) (PDF) by Frederick Southwick

Description

No other resource makes clinical infectious diseases more manageable and easy to master than Infectious Diseases: A Clinical Short Course. This one-of-a-kind self-instruction tool is organized by system/region as opposed to pathogens — simulating how common pathogens and disorders would be encountered in rounds or in practice. For this reason, this remarkable resource is unsurpassed for learning how to associate pathogens with their corresponding impact on actual patients.

User’s Reviews

Dr. Southwick is considered one of the pioneers in ID research, as he has in recent years spearheaded work on two national studies to help understand the roots and progression of inflammation upon exposure to an infectious agent. He has also published over 100 articles on this and other topics in major peer-review journals. He is also the author of our Infectious Disease in Thirty Days.

⭐ Product was as advertised and arrived on time.

⭐ Thank you

⭐ Good overview. Readable.

⭐ love the book, very helpful and nicely written

⭐ Had to buy this for a course. It’s not bad, and it keeps things very clinically focused. A good practical reference.

⭐ Very good as a start. Enough for most physicians, would need to complement for others but very good overall. I would recomend as a starting point.

⭐ Nicely written…this is 2008 edition, yet at several places, it uses out-dated terminology for microbes.

⭐ ME is a common and extremely disabling disease that has been known since the 1980s to be associated with retrovirus infection and b cell lymphomas. It deserves more thorough coverage.There are four sentences devoted to ME (CFS). Two of them repeat that antivirals are ineffective. This is based on Stephen Straus’ discredited study. Better studies at Stanford and by ME & infectious disease expert Dr. Lerner show significant reductions in morbidity with antivirals. Also states that chronic EBV infection is a serious multi-organ disease that may respond to antivirals. CEBV infection is really just a small subset of ME (CFS) that happened to be triggered by EBV rather than another infection so this is an artificial distinction.

⭐ This is a fantastic book for my Infectious Disease rotation.It’s very well organized, and a very interesting read. It also has point form summaries if you don’t have time to read the chapter.Highly recommend anyone who is looking for a good overall Infectious Diseases book. New edition being released November 2013.Cheers!

⭐ これは題名こそ違いますが”Infectious Diseases in 30 Days（邦訳：感染症スタンダードマニュアル）”の第2版となっています。最初に抗菌薬について、次に敗血症や発熱患者への対応の順で述べられており、その後は臓器別、寄生虫感染や特別な患者（免疫抑制、HIV感染など）といった構成。臓器別で手抜きのない感染症学が非常に明快で、時折入る症例も勉強になります。また、説明が長くなると、キリの良いところでキーポイントとしてまとめてくれているので、スッキリ理解できます。序盤の呼吸器の章で”sputum should never be cultured in the absence of an accompanying Gram stain.”とグラム染色の重要性を説いており、培養が医師をミスリードする危険性がきちんと示唆されています。総論とも言うべき敗血症と発熱患者の章も優れており、青木先生の「レジデントのための感染症診療マニュアル」と同様のことが多々述べられています。FUOについては”Antibiotics are contraindicated until a specific diagnosis is made”とまで書かれており、適正な抗菌薬の使用を繰り返し訴えています。また、細菌感染とウイルス感染を鑑別するプロカルシトニンについても少しですが触れられており、新しい知見を身に付けることも可能です。洋書なので疫学や耐性菌、そして抗菌薬の選択など、日本と異なる箇所は当然ながらあります。ですから「抗菌薬マスター戦略」などの訳書や和書で1回学んだ後に読まれた方が良いかと思います。感染症に興味のある学生から研修医、感染症非専門医の先生まで、臨床に直結した正しい知識を30日で得られるこの本はオススメです。
