Authoritative single-volume reference on key clinical infectious disease topics for the busy internist or infectious disease clinician
Centers on differential diagnosis, focused testing, and practical therapeutics in infectious disease
Over 300 clinically oriented tables and full-color illustrations
Organized in topically relevant sections for ease of use


Clinical Infectious Disease is the only comprehensive single-volume reference on clinical infectious disease for the busy medical practitioner. Now in its third edition, Clinical Infectious Disease provides rapid access to a practical overview of clinical infectious disease topics such as the susceptible host and nosocomial infection. Organized in topically relevant sections for ease of use and supported by full-color illustrations, this volume focuses on differential diagnosis, focused testing, and practical empiric and specific therapeutics in clinical infectious disease. It also features current research on medical microbiology, antimicrobial stewardship, and evolving treatments for COVID-19.

Authoritative and accessible, Clinical Infectious Disease remains the "go to" desktop reference for daily clinical infectious disease problems.





Cheston B. Cunha is Assistant Professor of Medicine at Brown University Alpert School of Medicine. He is also Medical Director of the Rhode Island Hospital and Miriam Hospital Antimicrobial Stewardship Program and Associate Program Director for the Infectious Disease Fellowship at Brown University. Dr. Cunha's clinical and research interests include general infectious diseases, antimicrobial therapy and stewardship, ancient plagues, and fever of unknown origin (FUO).
