Case Studies in Infectious Disease
Case Studies in Infectious Disease | Peter Lydyard, Michael Cole, John Holton, Will Irving, Nino Porakishvili, Pradhib Venkatesan, Kate Ward
9 posts | 1 read
Case Studies in Infectious Disease presents forty case studies featuring the most important human infectious diseases worldwide. Written for students of microbiology and medicine this book describes the natural history of infection from point of entry of the pathogen through pathogenesis, followed by clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. Five core sets of questions are posed in each case. What is the nature of the infectious agent, how does it gain access to the body, what cells are infected, and how does the organism spread? What are the host defense mechanisms against the agent and how is the disease caused? What are the typical manifestations of the infection and the complications that can occur? How is the infection diagnosed and what is the differential diagnosis? How is the infection managed, and what preventative measures can be taken to avoid infection? This standardized approach provides the reader with a logical basis for understanding these diverse and medically important organisms, fully integrating microbiology and immunology throughout.

I am on spring break this week despite yesterday‘s 10 inches of snow and power outage. I am trying to get caught up on lectures for my Infectious Disease course. We have left the realm of bacteria and are on to viruses. HepB and HIV are done. Today Epstein-Barr and Coxsackie. Virus are definitely not as fun as bacteria! #springbreak #workbreak

This morning my Gus wants to help with lecture prep. Up next tick-borne diseases! Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. #gusthepug #dogsoflitsy #petsoflitsy

Dragon Such a cool topic. My favourite lectures at Infectious disease conferences are about ticks. A couple of years ago the speaker showed a video of a terrifying tick in Afghanistan. 😀🐉 6y
MicrobeMom @dragon I will have to see if I can look that Rick up!!! 6y

Today‘s lecture prep for tomorrow, gastrointestinal infections. Ulcers, diarrhea, and autoimmune reactions. #microbiologyrocks

ValerieAndBooks I was a microbiologist many eons ago 😊. Left the field when I had my first kid 22 years ago. 6y
MicrobeMom @ValerieAndBooks yay! I am a micro prof with a new course in infectious disease this semester. Having so much fun with it. 6y
ValerieAndBooks I really enjoyed that aspect of microbiology in college — infectious disease and epidemiology 😊. Didn‘t do so well with the biochemistry, metabolic pathways, etc. 6y
tpixie I had an artist as a classmate and he would do these great drawings to help remember all those microbes. Eg. for Campylobacter he drew a picture of a tent with diarrhea coming out from it! it was so visual it made everything easier to remember! he should have published them!! 6y
MicrobeMom @tpixie He should have! My one complaint about this text is he lack of good images. Many artist make excellent figures for scientific texts. I wish I had that talent! (edited) 6y

My #litsy handle is MicrobeMom because the two most important things in my life are being a mom to two gorgeous loving fun kids and being a Microbiology college professor. I love both and are essential to my current self identity. My real name is the very American 1980s Stacey! #lovinglitsy #newtolitsy
