Abstract

This 182 page handbook is comprehensively written and well referenced. It is ideal for the new infection control practitioner and, being light and almost pocket sized, could be easily carried on ward rounds as a ready reference. The selection of editors and contributors from an international perspective is impressive, with wide ranging contributions from many of the European countries and the USA.
