This essential resource is designed to show primary care providers, family physicians, and internists how to recognize life-threatening emergencies, provide cost-effective management of all common infectious diseases that are prevalent today, and effectively use antimicrobial therapy. The clear organization begins with an overview of infectious diseases, followed by special topics related to pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, the elderly, and more. It emphasizes infection control in office practice, psychiatric considerations, and office laboratory testing in accordance with CLIA regulations. Comprehensive sections are devoted to HIV, travel medicine, pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis, medical informatics, outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT), and bioterrorism - featuring the latest references on Anthrax - in the Emergencies chapter
