Abstract:	The third edition of this best-selling text presents interesting and challenging cases that enable students to develop a working knowledge of the variety of microorganisms that cause infections in humans. The 68 cases are presented as "unknowns" and are accompanied by questions to test knowledge in four broad areas: 1) the etiologic agent's characteristics and laboratory diagnosis; 2) pathogenesis and clinical presentation; 3) epidemiology; and 4) prevention and, in some cases, drug resistance and treatment. Over 100 photographs allow students to familiarize themselves with the appearance of specific microorganisms in appropriate clinical settings. An extensive glossary explains the medical terminology to help students understand the language of medicine and make the cases accessible to all readers.
