AB Despite  enormous  advances  in  diagnosis,  treatment,  and  prevention  during  the  twentieth  century,  physicians  caring  for  patients  with  infectious  diseases  today  must  cope  with  extraordinary  new  challenges,  including  a  never-ending  deluge  of  new  information,  the  rapid  evolution  of  the  microorganisms  responsible  for  these  diseases,  and  formidable  time  and  cost  constraints.  In  no  other  area  of  medicine  is  the  differential  diagnosis  so  wide,  and  often  the  narrowing  of  the  differential  to  a  precise  infection  caused  by  a  specific  organism  with  established  antimicrobial  susceptibilities  is  a  matter  of  great  urgency.
