The book for medical man by Chih Y. Chi (Taiwan)

4 Stars
November 29, 2003
This book is not in detail as bibles of infectious diseases, but it is still worth reading. For an ID man, this book should be used as a supplementary one not a texbook. For its small size, disease pathogenesis can not be dicussed in depth and this is the major drawback of this book. For general internalists, this book is a good one that you can find numerous infectious informations. Update is also necessary for this book.

I used this book to study for the ID boards in 2001. I foundit well organized and thorough enough for most topics. The travel medicine sections were excellent as were the sections onbacterial infections. The chapters on viral infection couldhave been a bit more thorough but were for the most part adequate. The sections on parasitic diseases were very wellwritten and appropriate for board review. Overall, I recommendthis text for ID fellows and ID practicing physicians but not for physicians in other fields.
