Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This practically-oriented volume presents the principles and practice of infectious disease medicine, focusing on management diagnosis and treatment. Appealing to internists and general clinicians as well as the specialist, basic concepts and applications are stressed with references provided in a user-friendly annotated style. A color plate section highlights on key clinical entities.
MoreLong description:
This is an internationally edited and authored textbook of infectious diseases. It is structured to emphasize the approaches to be taken in recognition, diagnosis, and treatment when infections involve different organ systems or become generalized. Besides infectious diseases of different organ systems, those involving special risk groups (e.g. post operative, the burned patient, the transplant patient, and the patient with HIV infection) are also described and developed. Antimicrobial agents are discussed individually and then summarized in helpful tables that address specific infections. This practical text should appeal particularly to students, residents, or primary care practitioners who treat patients with infection.
The editors and contributors have succeeded in producing a book that makes fascinating reading, with a wealth of easily digestable information....It is an easy and excellent reference guide for infectious diseases and tempting to dip into over and over again.
