The method was/is to simulate for readers an infectious diseases expert at their side. Sections of the book were set up to reflect how we sort through problems: first by organ-based clinical syndromes that lead to construction and honing of a differential diagnosis; then by a compendium of potential bacterial, viral, fungal and protozoal pathogens, their epidemiology, clinical propensities, diagnostic tests, optimal management and prevention. Other sections were set up to serve as primers as well as blueprints for policy to control and prevent infectious diseases in the community and in the healthcare setting, to use laboratory tests to support clinical thinking, and antimicrobial agents for their greatest benefit.
