Here is the second edition of a clear and succinct volume that offers practical solutions to problems likely to be encountered by medical students, interns, nurses, and many other health professionals. Two new sections, one on clinical signs and symptoms, and one on geriatric medicine have been added, while existing material has been extensively rewritten. When used in conjunction with its companion title Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialities, the full range of clinical medicine is covered.

This new Oxford Medical Handbook takes an integrated approach to both infectious disease and microbiology. Referenced to national and international guidelines, it covers the basic principles of bacteriology and virology, specific information on diseases and conditions, and material on 'hot topics' such as bioterrorism and preventative medicine.
