Description
Now in its Third Edition, this handbook is a practical quick-reference guide for infectious disease physicians, primary care practitioners and other clinicians who treat upper and lower respiratory tract infections. This edition includes information on seven new drugs that have recently been approved or are awaiting approval. Also included are new guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Society of America for managing community-acquired pneumonia and new recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control for managing sinusitis, acute bronchitis, and pharyngitis. Algorithms and case examples appear throughout the book. Each disease-oriented chapter opens with a summary that lists key points about diagnosis, treatment, and complications
