From the Publisher
Recent Review
From School Library Journal, May 1999 "This alphabetically arranged volume presents agents of infectious diseases, the illnesses themselves, associations affiliated with prevention and study of diseases, and explanations of the drugs used to treat the conditions. The explanations are clear and informative and include sufficient cross-references. . . . An up-to-date bibliography completes this title, which would be an excellent addition to reference collections." From Choice, March 1999 "Turkington and Ashby's encyclopedia differs from other works on infectious diseases written for consumers and patients, which tend to be clinical in nature . . .. Highly recommended."
