Infections of Leisure, 3rd ed.
نویسنده
چکیده
beginning with foundational concepts, such as clinical syndromes, followed by specifics, such as the clinical presentation and treatment of individual pathogens. No such analogous structure is apparent in this book. Although the book begins with a discussion of genetics and the hygiene hypothesis, it quickly digresses into issues less relevant to the main point of the book, such as new diagnostic tests. A clear structure would also help ensure that all major topics are included. For example, many respiratory tract infections have a bimodal age distribution with the greatest incidence in the very young and the very old. However, this book largely omits any discussion of host-microbe interactions among the elderly. Similarly absent is a description of how pandemic influenza viruses emerge and evade the host immune system. Simply put, structure would unify what could otherwise be considered a series of well-done monographs. Most readers who want to understand the host-agent interplay in respiratory infections might find that a general infectious disease text meets their needs. However, others who need more depth in selected topics should search the table of contents before adding this book to their library.
