Product Description
Product Description
Confirm a diagnosis or take the guesswork out of finding the right antimicrobial to prescribe!
From the Back Cover
The PDR/Johns Hopkins ABX Guide: Diagnosis & Treatment of Infectious Diseases features critical infectious disease information designed specifically for use at the point of care.
Confirm a diagnosis or take the guesswork out of finding the right antimicrobial to prescribe!
Most importantly, you can choose a treatment with confidence knowing that the information was compiled and edited by infectious disease experts at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, MA, USA.
Concise and easy to use, The ABX Guide is divided into four sections:
- Anti–infectives. Here you′ll find important prescribing information for a variety of drug categories, including antibacterials, antifungals, antiparasitics, antivirals, and biological agents. Each drug profile lists FDA indications, usual adult dosing (including adjustments for renal/hepatic impairment), available formulations, adverse reactions, drug interactions, approximate costs, and information on use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Comments and references are also provided, where applicable.
- Vaccines. This part features agents used for immunization and prophylaxis and includes information on diagnostic criteria, indications, administration, and adverse reactions.
- Diagnoses. This section covers common infectious diseases that afflict various body systems, such as bone and joint, cardiac, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and soft tissues. It also discusses topical illnesses in areas such as biodefense, sepsis syndromes, surgical infections, and STDs. Each monograph provides diagnostic criteria, common pathogens, treatment regimens, and drug recommendations. Important points and references are also included.
- Pathogens. In this part you′ll find clinical information on bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. Each profile includes clinical relevance, sites of infection, and treatment regimens, as well as general comments and references.

One of the Best Pocket Guides, Everyone should have it
11 Dec 2005
This guide is small enough to fit in a lab coat and easily carry in a brief case, yet is 655 pages and has a interesting simplified pull out chart on Pathogens=antibiotic Rx.
While called the ABX Guide, this is much more than another drug guide which we do not need. It is actually a short Infectious Disease Handbook with Dx, Rx and selected readings.
The authors all appear to be highly qualified and knowledgeable.
Extremely well written, easy to use and with extensive disease and drug information.
What you get in this small package is separate chapters of:
1. Excellent short review of all Anti-Infectives;
2. Vaccines and Prophylaxis;
3. Disease Description/Diagnosis, Testing and Rx recommendations;
4. Pathogens
5. Index
6. Interesting small pull out chart.
This excellent first class Infectious Disease summary designed as a keep in your pocket book is comparable to the extraordinary Merck Manual in that lots of accessible, useable and valuable data is packed into such a small space.
Keep one in your examination room, on you desk, in your pocket and in at home. It is EASY to use and You won't regret it.
