Description
This invaluable clinical guide offers the only reference on infectious diseases encountered in intensive care patients-discussing infectious disease problems in the critical care unit and therapy.
No other book describes in practical terms the mimics of infection and how to differentiate colonization from infection!
Written by internationally renowned experts, Infectious Diseases in Critical Care Medicine
differentiates between sepsis and conditions that can imitate sepsis
highlights key diagnostic findings in all major infectious disease problems in critical care
includes practical infection control measures
provides easy to use recommendations on empiric antibiotic therapy
furnishes a simple, effective method of adjusting drug doses in patients with abnormal hepatic and kidney function
presents strategies for controlling resistance in critical care
With over 2500 bibliographic citations and more than 200 tables, drawings, photographs, micrographs, and x-rays, Infectious Diseases in Critical Care Medicine is an indispensable resource for infectious disease specialists; intensive and critical care physicians; pulmonologists; primary care physicians; internists; hospitalists; medical house officers; and pulmonary, critical care, and infectious disease fellows.
