Micropedia

Micropedia is a user-friendly, practical guide of clinical microbiology. Broken down into 150+ entries each focused on a specific pathogen or group of pathogens, Micropedia provides a concise review of over 16 different aspects of each pathogen's clinical presentation including modes of transmission, symptomatology, lab and imaging findings, relevant diagnostic testing, treatment, and additional pearls. To provide a comprehensive perspective each entry is sourced from a respected infectious disease textbook, a popularly-used electronic clinical resource, and recently published journal review articles.

Helpfully compiled into a thorough and handy reference. Great especially for students of healthcare fields. For the next version I suggest larger font and "highlights" summaries for each article.


Very Nice.

Excellent source of information on over 200+ common local and global pathogens including the Zika virus. Great for medical professionals seeking a quick reference guide for infectious disease, but also very user friendly for the lay person. Provides a handy summary of the disease, geographical location, incubation periods, at risk populations, etc.. Very easy to use and provides extremely accurate and updated information.


Nice and helpful
