Summary
"In gynecological practice one third of patient complaints involve vulvovaginal infections. In this concise volume the authors' aim is to help the practitioner towards accurate diagnosis, and to provide suggestions for appropriate patient care that will avoid ineffective treatments and thus ongoing discomfort for the patient." "Illustrated in full color throughout, the book is intended for gynecologists in practice and in training, and for physicians and related professionals in infectious diseases/microbiology, in emergency departments, outpatient clinics and general practice."--BOOK JACKET.
