Written over 10 years by a practicing Infectious Disease doctor, voted one of Portlands Best Doctors and a US News and World Report Best Doctor US, proving Lincoln's dictum.

"BOTTOM LINE: The Infectious Disease Persiflager’s Guide is an entertaining and engaging overview of infectious diseases, which is well suited for practicing clinicians and public health researchers. The content appears accurate and is highly referenced, although some sections seem to be pending future updates. The affordable price seems well worth the assimilation of current medical content and experience-based knowledge from a practicing expert in the field.

I'm a microbiologist in a large regional medical center. This guide is spot-on for current treatment! It's like having a teaching ID doc available 24/7; and Dr Crislip's sharp humor is hilarious! Highly advise purchasing whether a student or experienced in clinical microbiology!

Thanks Mark. I've been following you (in a good way) 5yrs now. Great stuff. Recommended to all data minded fools that deal with disease! Esp those in their third even fourth decade stamping out not only the occasional puspocket, but other real disorders. A global network. Rated: 5.0. recommend : .all who want truth. From student thru residents. And practitioners of real medicine on live humans without an agenda save assisting mankind in living well.

This app is really cool. It has good offline performance for when a data connection is not available. The information doesn't have the feel of something that was thrown together to put a price tag on either. It's written in such a way that some one who is just curious can browse through it and have a grasp of what he's talking about. My one complaint is this,there is no printer integration. If that could be added in the future that would be awesome.

First 'bug' that I went to was Vibrio. Whoever wrote that needs to focus on spelling errors and not on a personal global warming hypothesis.

Just installed the app, but not sure of the accuracy. For instance, Omnicef is listed in the app as a 2nd generation cephalosporin, when it is actually a 3rd generation cephalosporin. Not a fan of the attempt at humor.

Im a huge fan of Mark Crislip and I was psyched to see his app out for Android. Unfortunately it doesnt stack up just yet. Im on a Galaxy Nexus and the type is just too small to read comfortably plus it crashes constantly. Hopefully the updates will fix this
