Customer Reviews

Great review to gauge knowlege. No full explanations though.

This book was great for gauging my readiness for my med micro final. The cases were real-world like. My only problem with the book, which wasn't really a problem at all, was that I had to constantly reference my micro textbook to look up normal values, characteristics, etc. There was often extra space that could have been used for further explanation. That being said, I like the book a lot. It served it's self-limited purpose.

Nice clerkship companion

This was a nice companion for my 4th year I.D. clerkship. It included common infections as well as the zebras, and was well-written from true cases. Each case is brief, includes pertinent history, PE findings, labs, and studies followed by a question and a thorough answer with useful references. Not an essential, but a nice augmentation for the book-focuses learner.
