Information Technology Applications for Infectious Diseases and Pathogenic Microbes: A Unified Multidisciplinary Approach 康勁企業有限公司

WWW and Internet in Medicine  New clinical information available every day on Medline  Paper journal and textbooks are obsolete  Internet database is more “environmental friendly”  Medical textbooks should be “databased” on the internet

Not a Book on TV Screen  Links to Review Articles  Medical History  Clinical Pearls  Pathogenesis  Pharmacology  Teaching Photos and Digital Videos

New England Journal of Medicine : “This reference book has numerous attractive features. The overall content is clearly reflective and in each section the chapters on pathogens and drugs are presented in alphabetical order. The chapters are generally well written; the tables are clear, well organized and comprehensive, and the bibliographies are current. Controversies in management are discussed. This book is a welcome addition to the reference literature and we have recommended it as a graduation gift to our departing infectious disease fellows.”
