The revised, updated Fifth Edition of this pocket book is a handy reference to consult when making bedside interpretations of clinical data. Remarkably complete for its small size, the book lists nearly 200 symptoms, physical signs, laboratory test results, and radiologic findings and their differential diagnoses. This edition has a new, more user-friendly two-color design, tabs indicating sections, and shortened lists of the most common diagnoses. An expanded section on HIV infection covers new manifestations, including immune reconstitution syndrome. The infectious disease chapter has been revised to reflect its increasing importance in clinical medicine, the emergence of multi-drug resistant bacteria, and the threat of bioterrorism.

The top doctors in this guide have been chosen by randomly surveying thousands of health-care professionals. Doctors, nurses, chiefs of service, and hospital administrators have recommended the physicians who they feel are the best in their fields. Each physician's comprehensive listing includes the medical school attended and the year of graduation, board certifications, hospitals to which the doctor admits patients, residencies and fellowships, faculty appointments, office hours, and health plans in which they participate. Vital information on each region's leading medical centres and hospitals is included, along with a special 'Centres of Excellence' section that profiles outstanding hospital programs in speciality fields such as cancer, cardiac surgery, women's health, and sports medicine. The 'Special Practice Interest Index' lists experts who specialise in more than 2,500 different diseases, conditions, and procedures. Readers will learn what makes a doctor the best and what criteria to use when choosing a physician.
