 Rating: - Goal-orientedI am currently a fourth year medical student on an infectious disease rotation. I find this book fairly helpful, notably the first chapter where it pretty much sums up everything you forgot from your microbiology course.

"XYZ in 30 days" type titles sound hokey to me, but the book itself is anything but. The main strength of the text is its clear, logical approach in explaining the various infectious disease syndromes. Very straightforward, great summaries of key points every few pages, and insightful, readily understandable diagrams (and good photos). Too many books written for med students ...
