Review

"Proved very useful in identifying the wriggling Lone Star tick that a patient brought back from a trip to Mexico...Very helpful when considering a differential diagnosis of diseases that are rare in the United States but common elsewhere...A worthwhile addition to your library." - Clinical Infectious Diseases, review of the last edition
