Some sections, such as "Pitfalls in the Diagnosis of Serious Bacterial Infection, Especially Meningococcemia" or "Reasons Not To Treat Fever," are a joy to read and could be posted on the walls of emergency departments or general medical wards in every hospital. Unlike HIV-AIDS, this bacterial infection called lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is easily treatable with antibiotics. Sinus congestion and colored nasal discharge are common signs of a cold, not necessarily the result of a bacterial infection, so antibiotics aren't needed. |
