Reviews and Notes: Infectious Diseases: Understanding Infectious Diseases

FULL TEXT
Paul D. Ellner and Harold C. Neu. 343 pages. St. Louis, Missouri: Mosby-Year Book; 1992. $32.95.
Infections are the most common, treatable, and preventable disorders currently confronting humankind. Therefore, it is fitting that clinicians—however far removed from the role of primary caregiver—maintain more than a superficial knowledge of infectious diseases.
For 26 years, Ellner and Neu have entertained and inspired students at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University with a series of lectures on infectious diseases. Their book is a collection of those lectures and is offered as an introduction “for students. who do not have time to consult encyclopedic tomes until later in their careers.” The book is worth consideration because its authors are bonafide experts in the discipline and because it more than accomplishes its stated objective.
