Offering more in-depth coverage of epidemiology, etiology, pathology, microbiology, immunology, and treatment of infectious agents than any other infectious disease resource, Mandell, Douglas, and Bennett's Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases, 10th Edition, remains your #1 choice for authoritative, comprehensive information in this challenging field. Meticulously updated by a new editorial team led by Drs. Martin J. Blaser, Jeffrey I. Cohen, and Steven M. Holland, this two-volume masterwork brings together the knowledge and expertise of more than 650 contributing authors who are outstanding scholars and experts in their fields. For ID specialists and general practitioners alike, PPID provides a balanced, detailed perspective for any patient you encounter with a complex or difficult-to-treat infectious disease. Encyclopedic in its depth, contents, and referencing, PPID-10 is the one infectious disease book that needs to be on every practitioner’s shelf and in every medical library.

• Organizes content both by individual pathogens and by important clinical syndromes, broadening the context to clearly present relevant, complex clinical information.
• Contains multiple new chapters on both SARS-CoV-2 and anti-fungal therapy, as well as new chapters on bacteriophages and related agents, infections following traumatic injuries, communication to the public about infectious diseases, and the effects of climate change on infectious diseases.
• Provides up-to-date coverage of recent advances in the field: an increasing understanding of the agents, immune responses, and the growing armamentarium of diagnostics (such as nucleic acid amplification and next-generation sequencing); new treatments (such as monoclonal antibodies, new antifungals, antivirals, and phage therapy); and emerging preventive measures (such as new vaccines being developed for RSV), and our relationship with the human microbiome.
