Infection Management for Geriatrics in Long-Term Care Facilities

This text is impeccably researched and serves as an authoritative
reference point on infection control in the elderly populous.
-Electric Review

…I like this book because it brings together a disparate set of
topics about infections in older persons in long-term care
facilities. Some of these topics enter brave new worlds: how the
comorbid illnesses both increase susceptibility to infection and
alter its presentation….This book is a new benchmark in the area.
