ABSTRACT

Infections of the lung make up a significant proportion of the work of the respiratory and infectious disease physician.

Drawing upon the illustrative resources of the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, this beautifully presented atlas provides a visual approach to the topic. Dr Hill has selected a range of graphic images which will enable the user to see examples of both the rare and typical manifestations of these disorders.

A visual guidebook to respiratory infection, rather than a text, Pulmonary Infection consists of a large number of illustrations and captions, thus enabling the user to visualize many different situations. It will therefore undoubtedly become a useful desk reference for both the busy practitioner and the trainee.
