“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)
