Reader Reviews
I liked this book very much. It is a very good review of Microbiology and Immunology for USMLE. The main section covers major bacteriology, virology and parasitology. At the end of each chapter, there is a brief section with 'PEARLS', most important information in the chapter in brief. Then there is a 40-page section with brief summaries of medically important organisms. There is a concise Immunology section. It is followed by clinical cases and USMLE type exam questions. If you like to have most important information repeated more than once, then this is the book for you. I found a little problem with organization of information. In virology, there is a chapter with brief description of virus families. Most of that information is repeated in following chapters. In immunology section, I had to go back and forth between chapters. The chemotherapy section could cause some confusion if you also read Katzung & Trevors Pharmacology (Exam & Board Review). I don't know if you need all that information about the parasites not common in the US. Overall, a very good review book for USMLE.
