Mcqs In Medical Microbiology And Infectious Diseases

The third edition of this widely used book has been substantially updated to take into account changes since the last edition. It covers a wide range of topics in medical microbiology and infectious diseases. Questions are accompanied by extended answers, making them ideal for both revision and self study. It will be particularly suitable for candidates for the MRCP, FRCS/MRCS, MRCOG and MRCGP examinations, as well as for medical undergraduates.

MCQs are a standard part of undergraduate and postgraduate examinations, providing an easy and unbiased way of assessing performance. This updated edition of 240 MCQ questions covers a wide range of topics in medical microbiology and infectious diseases. The questions are accompanied by extended answers making them suitable for both revision and self-study.

This text contains 200 multiple-choice questions in infectious diseases and medical microbiology, suitable for candidates for the Membership of the Royal College of Physicians examination, and related examinations in other countries. A helpful feature for the student is the provision of extended answers explaining why the responses are true or false.

This book covers about 3500 multiple choice questions from different areas of Medical Microbiology in a simple and licid style. It will be of much use for USMLE step 1 and Postgraduate entrance examinations in USA, Canada, Australia, India, UK and other countries.It includes nine chapters on medical microbiology.

"Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology's art program enhances students' understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs. Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology."--BC Campus website.

Cases in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases challenges students to develop a working knowledge of the variety of microorganisms that cause infections in humans. This valuable, interactive text will help them better understand the clinical importance of the basic science concepts presented in medical microbiology or infectious disease courses. The cases are presented as "unknowns" and represent actual case presentations of patients the authors have encountered. Each case is accompanied by several questions to test knowledge in four broad areas including the organism's characteristics and laboratory diagnosis; pathogenesis and clinical characteristics of the infection; epidemiology; and prevention and, in some cases, drug resistance and treatment. This new fourth edition includes: an entirely new section, "Advanced Cases," which includes newly recognized disease agents as well as highly complex cases where the interaction of the immune system and human pathogens can be more closely examined a revised "Primer on the Laboratory Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases" section that reflects the increasing importance of molecular-based assays Forty-two new cases that explore the myriad advances in the study of infectious disease in the past decade Thirty-two updated cases that reflect the current state of the art as it relates to the organism causing the infection This textbook also include specific tools to assist students in solving the cases, including a table of normal values, glossary of medical terms, and figures illustrating microscopic organism morphology, laboratory tests, and clinical symptoms. Cases in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases is a proven resource for preparing for Part I of the National Board of Medical Examiners Exam and an excellent reference for infectious disease rotations.
