Washington Manual Infectious Diseases Subspecialty Consult f
Opis
Over the past two decades, the emergence of infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis C, and multi drug resistant bacterial pathogens has heightened attention towards stricter, more effective infection control practices and appropriate antimicrobial therapies. The infectious disease subspecialty consult, written by residents and fellows at the Washington University School of Medicine offers a broad approach to the patient and their illness in an attempt to determine what infections they are at risk from, where and how they might have acquired their infection, how to evaluate and manage the patient, and what complications to expect.Ask the right questions Order the tests Determine the treatment plan Review the diagnosis and treatment plan with the attending physician Then treat the patient Approaches the consult from the subspecialist perspective Includes standard symptom/disease chapters detailing background, causes, presentation, and management Gives key points to remember at the end of every chapter
This electronic reference, has been written by residents and chief residents at Washington University School of Medicine, and is part of a new series of eleven quick reference guides to difficult patient management in internal medicine.
During a residency you could be called to see a patient that has presented with problems in your area of subspecialty rotation - and it would then be your turn to take the ''consult''.
