Description
This is an exceptionally well constructed color atlas of lung infections both for specialists and for residents studying for board exams. Highly detailed photographs of microbiological or histological preparations accompany the radiographs to give a complete diagnostic picture of common and rare lower respiratory tract infections in the way examining boards now expect trainees to recognize and understand these laboratory procedures. Case histories in the captions help explain the diagnosis further. In text and pictures this atlas describes clinical assessment and microbiological examination in the diagnosis of respiratory tract infection, and covers routine bronchial infections, pneumonias, mycobacterium tuberculosis, and AIDS.
