This book is dedicated to
Our family members, teachers
and above all God
7Preface
“First of all we want to thank all of the readers for their immense support—the key of success.”
The overwhelming success of the previous edition has encouraged us to carry this 4th edition a step ahead to revise and update the book, so as to match the pace of present PGMEE requirement of this difficult subject.
PGMEE is a battle field in which everyone fights for success but only few succeed because only few know the correct use of weapon of “Knowledge, hard work and guidance”.
So, guys learn the golden words :
Success comes when, we do things right;
When we learn how to make the best use of our time,
and how to deal with adversities
Why this book is different?
Beside adding new questions, we have taken account of all mistakes to provide an error free text.
This book provides important points of each topic in continuous manner not in parts as given in previous guides.
This book consists of theory of each topic followed by its questions so theory portion helps you to solve new questions.
This pattern of book allows you to revise whole infectious disease very clearly and quickly.
This book provides sufficient matter which can be revised without any problem.
How to use this book?
Read the theory first then do questions. You realize that this way of learning makes topic easy to understand and easy to grasp for long-term memory. Try to complete each topic in one sitting.
In the last we would like to say all the best for your PGMEE preparation and hope you will work hard with positive attitude in your mind.
Always keep one thing in your mind:
There's one thing, we cannot recycle and that's wasted time, so guys !
