An Atlas of the Clinical Microbiology of Infectious Diseases, Volume 1 : Bacterial Agents

Filled with highly instructional visual images, this atlas covers typical and atypical presentations of microorganisms covering the breadth of clinical microbiology and offers insightful comments aiding in their identification and clinical significance. It presents more than 425 colored photomicrographs harvested over the author's 40-year career augmented by an up-to-date text describing each microbial entity included. While not a text book, the photomicrographic accompaniment of microorganisms and their clinical presentation should make the atlas of immense value for clinical microbiologists, medical, nursing, and laboratory students, and infectious diseases practitioners. This second volume of An Atlas of the Clinical Microbiology of Infectious Diseases focuses on virology, mycology and parasitology. Drawing on more than 40 years of clinical experience, Dr Bottone has compiled an extraordinary collection of photographs and photomicrographs pertaining to the laboratory diagnosis of viral, fungal and parasitic infectious disease agents. To complement the figures, the text clearly and concisely delineates important features related to the etiology, morphology, pathogenesis and disease manifestations of each pathogen.This volume is destined to become an invaluable and practical resource for all clinical microbiologists, technicians, medical students, pathology residents and infectious disease fellows. Covers the gamut of infectious disease agents such as bacteria, parasites, viruses, myocologic agents, and more. The book presents smears from one of the most significant collections in the US and includes coverage of diagnostic features, management issues, therapeutics, and more. Written by one of the legendary figures in infectious medicine, the atlas provides clinical correlations in the text, making the book even more practical for the specialists and clinicians who will use it. Drawing on his forty years of experience, the author develops an organized approach to identifying the salient characteristics of microorganisms
