Book Description
This new atlas provides an illustrated guide to the
investigation, diagnosis and management of infectious diseases of the
ear, nose and throat. In the first section of the book the authors begin
with an overview of the microbiology of ENT infections, describing the
main infective organisms, and the tests by which the presence of
bacterial, viral, fungal and other infections can be confirmed. This is
followed by a brief summary of the principles of pharmacological
management, the agents currently in use and their mode of action.The
three main sections of the atlas focus in turn on infections of the ear,
the nose and nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses, and the mouth and
throat. All follow the same approach, beginning with the basic
principles of the physical examination and a review of commonly
presenting signs and symptoms. Subsequent sections guide the reader
through the various possible diagnoses, the causative organisms and the
means by which the infection can be treated, all supported by diagnostic
algorithms, tables and high quality colour photographs.The atlas
concludes with a special section describing some of the most important
tropical infections which are encountered with increasing frequency and
with which the clinician needs to be familiar.
