More than 55 bacterial and fungal, 25 viral and 23 parasitic based integrated clinical-based cases to make a sound foundation of the infectious diseases in the
budding doctors. Worked out in a systematic Q and Abased format for clear understanding
More than 33 general microbiology/infection control and pandemic management and 15 immunology-based clinical vignettes/clinical cases worked out in a
systematic fashion to make a sound foundation of medical microbiology in the budding doctors.
All chapters in clinical infectious diseases/syndromes of various systems are provided with clinical details including collection, transport and processing
techniques. Also provided are exclusive clinical cases including references of clinical cases
All sections on bacterial diseases have separate section for outline/classification of organisms, metabolic and microscopic features, media requirements and
colonial characters (including diagnostic), clinical profile, laboratory diagnosis (of important bacterial diseases) and treatment. This is organized in an integrated
tabular format
Sections dealing with DNA and RNA viral infections have exclusive tabulated and referenced chapters on clinical profile and laboratory diagnosis of such
infections
Protozoology and helminthology sections in parasitic diseases have exclusive chapters on morphological profile, transmission/life cycle and host's profile, clinical
profile, laboratory diagnosis profile and treatment profile.
All sections have assessment/examination questions including MCQs (with references/answers).
