Description
This new edition of "Antibiotic Therapy" gives a systematic presentation of antimicrobials together with practical guidelines on their use. This text should be of value to clinical specialists as well as to general practitioners, doctors in training, pharmacologists, pharmacists and to all concerned with the diagnosis and management of infection. A range of substances recently developed such as new penicillins, new cephalosporins, new macrolides as well as the new quinolones are dealt with. Modern approaches to the treatment of tuberculosis, fungal and viral infections (particularly AIDS and its associated opportunistic infections) are described. The main sections contain chapters on the properties of the single antimicrobial agents, the treatment of infections and infectious disease along with general rules for antibiotic therapy. Special attention has been paid to recent scientific publications which have been included in the bibliography to each chapter together with more general guidance for further reading.
Therefore, the text provides recent therapeutic strategies, as well as basic information about pharmacologic properties, side effects, indications and contraindications of antimicrobial agents.
