Antimicrobial Therapy in Primary Care Medicine, First Edition -
The goal of this handbook is to provide a concise, readable, and portable reference that covers the majority of infectious disease problems seen daily by primary care practitioners, as well as by physicians in training. A limited bibliography is provided at the end of each section, for those who wish to spend a greater deal of time researching a topic in more depth. Tables are used liberally, and clinical algorithms are provided for the evaluation of patients presenting with urinary tract infection, sinusitis, and other syndromes. The handbook is not intended to be a definitive reference for the management of infectious diseases _ indeed, this would be impossible in a book this size _ and the interested reader is encouraged to consult standard textbooks of medicine and infectious diseases for further information on any given topic.

New for 2002 - The 2002 Handbook includes a new section on therapeutic, and/or toxic, and/or lethal levels on a select number of drugs. This section will allow the medical community the opportunity to make reference to levels of certain medications to better manage their patients and possibly prevent toxicities.
This book is intended to provide medical personnel with a concise reference source for drug names, the preparations available, and common dosages in adults in a tabular format. The pocket size of the handbook has been exceptionally popular (with over 1,000,000 copies in circulation of over the 17 years of publication). In each new edition, new drugs, new dosage forms and new indications that become available each year will be added. We have received a very positive response to maintaining this booklet in the pocket-size form so that it can be placed in a jacket or laboratory coat pocket and carried throughout the hospital or used in the office, emergency room, and classroom. We thank you for the comments and hope that you will continue to use this handbook in this way.
