5 out of 5 stars Its almost like you're not studying micro   November 23, 2008
As a current second year medical student, I find it very difficult to keep up with all the seemingly random endotoxins, exotoxins, cell wall components, diseases etc. associated with all the microbes that we as medical students are expected to know. However, this book does a excellent job of breaking down all of these components for all clinically relevant microbes into very simple explanations. Chapters are filled with funny pictures that help to incorporate many little details into an image that will not soon be forgotten. This feature along with much repetition throughout chapters almost ensures you will learn the material fully and quickly with very little effort. And if you have not learned the material by reading the chapter and looking at the pics, this book also provides fantastic charts that breakdown almost all of the information presented for a rapid review of the facts.
For anyone who has trouble remembering all of the "little details" associated with bugs, I definitely recommend this book..



5 out of 5 stars Its in the title!   November 23, 2008
This book does an amazing job of putting a face to all the bugs. I didnt get a ton of micro in my first year of medical school, but this book brought me up to speed quickly during my second year. I will definitely rely on the concise summaries in this book when studying for the USMLE boards!


5 out of 5 stars Great micro book for medical students   November 2, 2008
Covers all of the "bugs" thoroughly with a clinical focus. At the end of each chapter there are review tables w/ info on the bug, how it presents clinically, and how you treat it. Has lots of pneumonics and different ways to remember the info. The book is in black and white except the cover.


4 out of 5 stars Makes it fun, and ridiculously simple!   October 14, 2008
A very helpful text for your first and second year of med school. It does follow it's title... ridiculously simple. Great to use in conjunction with class notes as you learn about all the "bugs." Helpful to get the basics and keep all of the stuff straight.

A fun read... very humorous with funny cartoons. Highly recommended and helpful!



5 out of 5 stars one of the best summaries   October 12, 2008
If you're a medical student, buy this book for Immunity and Infection! It simplifies everything very well and it's good to use with First Aid since both have summaries.
