Pulmonary Infection : An Atlas of Investigation and Management

Infections of the lung make up a significant proportion of the work of the respiratory and infectious disease physician. Drawing on the illustrative resources of the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, this beautifully presented atlas provides a visual approach to the topic. Dr Hill has selected a range of graphic images which will enable the user to see examples of both the rare and typical manifestations of these disorders. This book is a visual guidebook to respiratory infection, consisting of a large number of illustrations and captions, rather than text, enabling the user to visualize many different situations. It will provide a useful desk reference for both the busy practitioner and the trainee.
