This e-dition includes the 2-volume set PLUS access to www.ppidonline.com!

Widely acknowledged as the definitive reference source of its kind, Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases is back - in a new 6th Edition! Authored by a "who's who" of experts from around the world, it encompasses all that is currently known about the epidemiology, aetiology, pathology, microbiology, immunology, and treatment of infectious agents. Completely revised and updated - and with a bold, new 4-colour format - it is a complete, essential compendium of knowledge on this vast and complex subject.

The accompanying website at www.ppidonline.com features the full contents of the book in a fully searchable format, plus weekly updates to content, ensuring this outstanding reference keeps pace with the changing world of infectious diseases.

The 2-volume set also includes a bound-in CD-ROM with all of the images from the book available for PowerPoint download.
 

Reviews

"These updates are the answer to those who complain that textbooks can easily become outdated as soon as they are published . . . If one wants the ultimate package . . .the “e-dition” is available. It includes everything: the two-volume set, the CD-ROM “image bank,” and online access with weekly updates . . . . . . Whichever option is chosen, the reader will have the most complete infectious diseases reference available. No other text comes close." JAMA May 11, 2005, Vol 293, No 18
