## Press Release Body
Igaku-Shoin Co., Ltd. (Location: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President: Shun Kanahara) published 'Rules for Infectious Disease Practice for Residents' (edited by Nobuyoshi Mori) on April 27, 2026.
'Infectious disease practice that involves examining and thinking about patients'
Not just looking at charts and test data, but examining patients and discussing cases—based on the educational core inherited from the Department of Infectious Diseases at St. Luke's International Hospital, this book compiles practical wisdom in infectious disease diagnosis and treatment.
It is a sister book to the 'Rules for Internal Medicine Residents,' a must-read for medical students and residents that focuses on 'how to make appropriate actions after judging urgency and importance while utilizing knowledge to the maximum.' This is a must-have book for residents focused on infectious disease practice.
Presenting 'Rules' first, followed by careful process explanation
In clinical practice in the field of infectious diseases, judgments are constantly required regarding what to suspect from patient history, physical findings, and test information, how to organize differential diagnoses, when to start antibiotic treatment, and how to review it.
This book focuses on unraveling the thinking process in infectious disease practice based on cases. Based on discussions held at St. Luke's International Hospital's infectious disease department conferences, important and frequently encountered themes have been carefully selected.
For each theme, the 'Take home message' is first presented as a 'Rule,' and the reasoning and rationale leading to that rule are explained in an easy-to-understand manner.
At the beginning of each section, the basic principles that must be known are summarized as bullet points called 'Rules.' Topics with the latest developments or where there is divided opinion are treated as 'Want to know more!' sections to deepen understanding.
