This book is the only academic text designed specifically to meet the challenges faced by medical students and early career physicians struggling with nuances of recognizing, diagnosis and treating common infections, infections that masquerade as other diseases, and rare infections that present in a classic manner. Details on basic and advanced microbial diagnostics are explained masterfully. The textbook incorporates problem-based approaches to dozens of clinical infectious disease scenarios in newborns, children, and adults. It includes easy-to-access “tips and tricks” for when to look further or consider possibilities that are unusual making it an incredibly useful resource for providers and trainees with all levels of experience in the field of infectious diseases. Every chapter features a variety of learning tools to help the reader to consider common and uncommon infectious etiologies associated with each problem, to appreciated important underlying host risk factors, to identify important microbiologic clues to a diagnosis, and to remember important aspects of clinical history taking related to the identified problem. At the end of each chapter, review questions are presented as a tool to reinforce the key concepts conveyed. Introduction to Clinical Infectious Diseases, is written by experienced health care providers across 20 specialties in adult and pediatric medicine working in both hospital and outpatient settings. This cutting-edge academic resource will appeal to anyone with 'infectious disease curiosity' including medical students, residents, fellows, and practicing physicians across multiple primary care and specialty areas.

Infectious diseases as a specialty suffers from many unique challenges stemming from lower salaries compared to other medical specialties and difficulty keeping the younger demographic within the field. With emerging infections, new diagnostic and research tools, and changing migration patterns, these problems are amplified; infectious disease specialists are in higher demand than ever with fewer and fewer specialists available to support patients and colleagues outside of the field. To meet these increasing challenges, it is vital for the workforce of the future to have the best training possible. This book aims to provide this support. As trainees, all physicians face clinical infectious disease scenarios on a daily basis. They receive basic training in common infections, giving them the tools needed for initial diagnostic studies and empiric treatment. This approach, however, still leaves them struggling with nuances of treating common infections, infections that masquerade as other diseases, rare infection, advanced diagnostics, complicating medical conditions, and a wide range of medical complexities. Important clinical microbiology details and host susceptibility risks will be highlighted when discussing uncommon infections. Each chapter begins by defining a distinct clinical infectious disease problem and the most common cause(s). The next section of each chapter identifies the key questions to consider, including other possible pathogens, medical history, alternate microbiologic diagnoses, instances of unexpected result. This book is the only academic text designed specifically to meet this challenge by targeting learners at all levels. To do this, the text incorporate 30-40 common clinical infectious disease scenarios in both adult and pediatric hosts. It includes easy-to-access “tips and tricks” for when to look further or consider possibilities that are unusual that is useful for someone who is new to the information or has limited experience within infectious diseases. The text heavily features teaching and learning tools, including call out boxes that prioritizes infectious etiologies, host risk factors, important microbiologic clues, and important clinical history clues. The text also includes review questions and quiz-like challenges to reinforce the concepts. Written by experts in the field Clinical Infectious Diseases is the most cutting-edge academic resource for all medical students, fellows, residents, and trainees, including infectious disease specialists in both adult and pediatric care, internal medicine specialists, and hospitalists.

Because of his years of experience, Dr. Gullberg knows the best format for learning regarding a core of Infectious Disease topics. Bullet points are a very effective method. Dr. Gullberg has handpicked the twenty most common areas in the field of Infectious Diseases that students must study. The book will be a very handy reference for clinical learning, National Boards, and PANCE testing. The resources for this text are too numerous to count, and many are the physicians and colleagues who have mentored Dr. Gullberg over the last 30 years.Robert M. Gullberg M.D., F.A.C.P., is from Park Ridge, Illinois and was educated at Northwestern University with a degree in inorganic Chemistry. He attended the University of Illinois Medical School, graduating in 1981, followed by internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the Evanston Hospital, then affiliated with Northwestern University Medical School. He had excellent training there under the tutorege of Dr. Steven Kurtides, Chief of Medicine. His residency was followed by a Fellowship in Infectious Diseases at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois where he was mentored by Dr. John Phair.Dr. Gullberg is double boarded in Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease and is an Adjunct Professor of Clincal Medicine/Infectious Disease. He has practiced Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases in a large community hospital for over three decades. During that time, he has trained hundreds of medical students, PA students, and nursing students at all levels.
