This book has been on my desk for a couple of weeks now and a number of people have enquired if I am resorted to reading comics. Indeed, the front cover is in comic-book style but this is actually a valuable and yes, sometimes, comic guide to infectious disease information. The format is simple but successful. On the left-hand page, the essential information on a particular infection is briefly summarized providing the name of the infection, synonyms, causative agent, lifecycle, incubation, geographic distribution, brief description of transmission pathways, symptoms of the infection, diagnostic testing and treatment.
