Ocular Infections: Essentials in Ophthalmology

Editat de Khalid F. Tabbara, Ahmed M. Abu El-Asrar, Moncef Khairallah
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 dec 2014

Pregătirea pentru examenul de rezidențiat sau pentru certificările de specialitate în oftalmologie necesită o înțelegere riguroasă a patologiei infecțioase, responsabilă pentru o parte semnificativă din cazurile de morbiditate oculară evitabilă. Notăm cu interes volumul Ocular Infections, publicat sub egida seriei Essentials in Ophthalmology la editura Springer, care reușește să sintetizeze protocoalele de diagnostic și tratament într-un format clinic precis. Structura volumului urmează o progresie logică, pornind de la farmacologia agenților antimicrobieni și acoperind succesiv infecțiile pleoapelor, cheratitele microbiene, conjunctivitele și patologia sistemului nazolacrimal, culminând cu infecțiile retinei și ale segmentului posterior.

Suntem de părere că acest titlu reprezintă o alternativă viabilă la Infections of the Cornea and Conjunctiva pentru rezidenți, cu avantajul unei acoperiri mult mai largi a anexelor oculare și a segmentului posterior, nu doar a suprafeței oculare. În timp ce alte lucrări se concentrează pe mecanisme moleculare, volumul editat de Khalid F. Tabbara pune accent pe semnele clinice specifice și pe rolul testelor de laborator moderne. Un element distinctiv este includerea capitolului despre infecțiile emergente, esențial în contextul epidemiologic actual. Stilul este concis, iar prezența tabelelor și a fotografiilor clinice ajută la fixarea rapidă a informației necesare pentru decizii terapeutice urgente, precum managementul endoftalmitei. Față de The Infected Eye, această ediție este organizată mai strict pe regiuni anatomice, facilitând consultarea rapidă în timpul gărzilor sau în cabinetul de consultații.

Recenzii

“The purpose is to provide an up-to-date description of ocular infections and advances in disease treatment. … The intended audience is clinicians, but the book is written in a way that makes it accessible to students as well. The ample number of photos and easy to read tables make the book accessible to learners at all levels. … This useful book provides a quality, in-depth analysis of ocular diseases and treatment modalities, without inundating readers with mundane details.” (Stephen M. Holland, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2015)
