Index

"This edition updates the 2020 edition and focuses on high-yield topics for the American Board of Internal Medicine Infectious Disease exam and clinical practice. The book organizes material into multiple schemas, addressing clinical syndromes, body systems, and specific populations, with easy-to-read tables and figures. [Its] primary purpose is to review the clinical knowledge expected of practicing infectious disease physicians at the level required to pass the ABIM Infectious Disease examination. In a field as broad as infectious disease, this is an ambitious goal, and the book accomplishes it well. It consistently bolds high-yield information and supplements discussions with clear figures that highlight frequently tested concepts…. Each section is written in clear, professional language by experts in the field, and the content is consistently augmented with easy-to-review tables, photographs, and figures…. the book proves highly effective, and I recommend it to fellows, recertifying physicians, and other learners seeking a concise yet thorough review."
