Reviews

"It is written in an approachable manner and makes enjoyable reading, getting across difficult concepts such as false-positives and negatives and explaining the uncertainties that often lie behidn a diagnosis made in clinic...Overall this book is a delight to read and I hope it finds the audience it deserves. It offers patients a refreshingly balanced outlook on the nature, diagnosis and management of infections, especially when compared with much information available on the Internet."--Jackie Sherrard, Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, UK
