Synopsis

This is an exceptionally well constructed color atlas of lung infections both for specialists and for residents studying for board exams. Highly detailed photographs of microbiological or histological preparations accompany the radiographs to give a complete diagnostic picture of common and rare lower respiratory tract infections in the way examining boards now expect trainees to recognize and understand these laboratory procedures. Case histories in the captions help explain the diagnosis further. In text and pictures this atlas describes clinical assessment and microbiological examination in the diagnosis of respiratory tract infection, and covers routine bronchial infections, pneumonias, mycobacterium tuberculosis, and AIDS.

Review

"The greatest strength of this atlas is the high-quality color illustrations. These, in combination with radiographs and concise and clearly written introductory information, will make this a handy reference. The authors intend for this to be a visual guide to the management of lower respiratory infections and have emphasized illustration over literature citation. However, a bibliography is provided that is certainly adequate for the scope of this book. On the whole, this attractive, eye-catching volume fills an important need." - Wayne M. Samuelson, MD, University of Utah Health Sciences Center, Doody Review Services
