This book from Elsevier is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by B.S. Nagoba and Asha Pichare, written as an examination preparation manual in microbiology and parasitology (माइक्रोबायोलॉजी एवं पैरासाइटोलॉजी) for undergraduate medical students. (cite index="165-1">The fifth edition highlights the important aspects of medical microbiology and presents a concise exam-oriented text as per the revised CBME guidelines of 2024, and is designed around the revised Competency-Based Undergraduate Curriculum introduced that year. It adds five new chapters — Effective Communication Skills, Immunity in Bacterial Infections, Immunity in Viral Infections, Immunity in Parasitic and Fungal Infections, and Concept and Utility of Syndromic Management of STIs — along with new topics on lower respiratory tract infections in specific situations, post-exposure prophylaxis and rational antimicrobial therapy, all included as per the new CBME curriculum. Chapters conclude with key points for a quick recap of topics; 70 new illustrations in the form of line diagrams, photographs and flowcharts have been incorporated; and more than 700 multiple choice questions are inserted at the end of chapters to allow deeper understanding. (cite index="165-1">Its salient features are that complete theory is presented in question-answer format to help students in quick learning and revision; that it ensures consistent, timely and exhaustive coverage of all the competencies; that Clinical and Applied Microbiology has been extensively revised with suitable tables; and that its format is based upon the pattern followed by examiners in framing questions in the examinations, both theory and practical. Online, it carries complimentary access to the full e-book at medenact.com, featuring chapter-wise mapping against the revised 2024 CBME curriculum. The question-answer format is the defining choice here: the book is arranged the way the paper is set, so a student revises by working through the questions they will actually face rather than by re-reading continuous prose. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.
