PY - 2017 T2 - Harrison's Infectious Diseases, 3e 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.
