Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The new edition of this work offers a review of the medically important aspects of microbiology and immunology. It covers both the basic and clinical aspects of bacteriology, virology, mycology and parasitology. It aims to assist those who are preparing for the USMLE exam, and also provides students who are taking a medical microbiology course with a brief source of information. The fifth edition has been updated to reflect the latest information in this field.

Previous ed.: 1996.

Includes index.
