This review is from: Mosby's Color Atlas & Text of Infectious Diseases (Paperback)
The retained image is often critical to the diagnosis of infection. An astute clinician relies on visual to retrace the footprints of memories and association with a patient's condition, some gathered from past experience and others from a book or atlas. This volume by Conlon and Snydman provides vivid photographs of common and rare illnesses that all health providers should have outlined in their minds. This is a clear, comprehensive book, which is a valuable source of reference in the management of infectious disease.
