"This text is impeccably researched and serves as an authoritative reference point on infection control in the elderly populous." -Electric Review "…I like this book because it brings together a disparate set of topics about infections in older persons in long-term care facilities. Some of these topics enter brave new worlds: how the comorbid illnesses both increase susceptibility to infection and alter its presentation….This book is a new benchmark in the area." -Doody's Reviews (for previous edition) "…a well-organized a practical guide…. "…a welcome addition to any health sciences or hospital library." -E-Streams (for previous edition)
