Ectoparasites that cause human disease Part IX: Infectious diseases. Bone & joint infections Cardiac infections Central nervous system infections Gastrointestinal tract infections Pelvic infections Upper respiratory tract infections Lower respiratory tract infections Infections of the skin & skin structures Urinary tract infections Sepsis & septic shock Eye infections Part X: Brief summaries of medically important organisms Part XI: Clinical cases Part XII: Pearls for the USMLE Part XIII: USMLE (National Board) practice questions Part XIV: USMLE (National Board) practice examination

Summary: "This trusted, popular guide provides a high-yield review of the most important aspects of microbiology and immunology in a concise yet comprehensive style. Levinson's Review of Medical Microbiology and Immunology covers both basic and clinical aspects of bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology, and immunology. Important infectious diseases are discussed using an organ system approach. The effective mix of engaging narrative text, color images, tables, figures, Q&As, and clinical vignettes make this an invaluable, proven one-stop guide to mastering the application of microbiology and immunology to infectious diseases. This updated edition reflects the latest research, treatment, and developments, new cases, and more."-- Provided by publisher
