Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy 2014 (Pocket Edition)

The 44th edition of the leading reference on treatment of infectious diseases and anti-infective drug information. Available in print in pocket size, spiral bound and large library editions.

New material and areas of significant change in this 44th edition include:

· Inhalation antibiotics (Table 10F): An area of therapeutics increasingly important for treatment of cystic fibrosis and infection from highly resistant aerobic gram-negative bacilli. Photosensitivity (Table 10C) has been reworked for better practical use.

· Surgical prophylaxis (Table 15): Regimens have been updated to reflect newly published Guidelines.

· HCV treatment (Table 14G): New treatment regimens for all genotypes of HCV are replacing previous recommendations. The environment is changing so rapidly that we suggest that you consult the digital editions of the Sanford Guide for the most current information on newly approved drugs and regimens.

· Influenza (Table 14A) has been extensively updated to reflect the 2014 flu season and treatment options.

· Other syndromes with significant updates (Table 1): Suppurative (Septic) thrombophlebitis; mastoiditis; enterohemorrhagic E. coli; Whipple's disease; sinusitis.

· Dosing of polymyxins (B and E — Colistin) continue to evolve as new data become available.

· Mycobacterial infections (Table 12A) and parasitic infections (Table 13A): extensive updates.
