"The book is written for a large audience, including medical students, residents, fellows, nursing students, students in physician assistant training programs, and other allied health professionals. Common and uncommon infectious disease problems are covered. ... This book has the potential to ignite the interest of trainees and other providers to pursue the specialty of infectious diseases. It provides a good example of how history taking, data collection, and analysis may lead to a diagnosis and an appropriate management plan." (Rudolf Jan Kotula, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2018)
