AB The  management  of  infectious  diseases  requires  an  understanding  of  the  presenting  clinical  manifestations  and  knowledge  of  microbiology.  Many  infections  present  with  constellations  of  focal  and  systemic  signs  and  symptoms  that  in  typical  cases  are  highly  suggestive  of  the  diagnosis,  though  the  disease  might  be  caused  by  any  of  several  different  organisms.  Making  a  clinical  diagnosis  with  subsequent  laboratory  confirmation  is  part  of  the  art  of  medicine.  This  chapter  presents  24  cases  and  brief  discussions  of  the  differential  diagnosis  and  management  of  those  infections.
