READ WHAT DOODY'S HAD TO SAY: "The graphics are clear in illustrating concepts, and the images for the clinical cases are of high quality. "This review of microbiology and immunology discusses the important infectious diseases using an organ system approach to emphasize clinical correlation with the basic science material. Some chapters end with a 'Pearls' section, a concise review of the chapter, followed by self-assessment questions . . . The book covers basic and clinical microbiology, with the authors making a special effort to use basic science concepts as the building blocks of understanding clinical infectious diseases . . . The graphics are clear in illustrating concepts, and the images for the clinical cases are of high quality” About the Author Warren Levinson, MD, PhD is Professor of Microbiology, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California, San Francisco, CA Peter Chin-Hong, MD is Professor of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, University of California, San Francisco, CA.
