About this title

Review

The book is fantastic. It is an incredibly comprehensive but easy to read resource that will be useful to ID clinicians and microbiologists, both Consultants and trainees alike. In my opinion it is a must buy for an Infectious Disease / Microbiology department. The book strikes a very nice balance between the level of detail provided and the succinctness of the text meaning that it can be used both as a reference book during day to day work and as a resource for simply reading to increase one's knowledge. The layout is also really easy to follow and the illustrations brighten up the book as well as enlightening the text. I would highly recommend it to trainees and Consultants in infectious diseases and microbiology and to anybody who needs an excellent, comprehensive but easy and enjoyable to read reference book on infectious diseases. --Brendan Healy, University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff

The new Oxford Textbook of Medicine: Infection does an excellent job of presenting important infectious diseases. The chapters are comprehensive including organism descriptions, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment. Entries are up to date and include recent developments in treatment and scientific research. --Laurence Buxbaum, VA Medical Center

It is not only an excellent reference for medical trainees or internal medicine physicians, it also includes insightful commentaries on various humanistic issues related to the practice of medicine...the 800-plus page Infection section is one of the highlights. Each section is clearly laid out, with an Essentials box at the beginning of each topic. (From the review of Oxford Textbook of Medicine, Fifth Edition) --JAMA, December 2011
