As an Infectious Diseases Physician it is always a pleasure to see a new edition of Mandell, Douglas and Bennett’s Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases (hereafter called Mandell’s) being released. Increasingly over the years, however, I have found the textbook sitting on my shelf whilst I can quickly and conveniently look things up on UptoDate – which I have loaded on my mobile phone, and which is available on networked computers in many workplaces. It isn’t possible to compare these two popular Infectious Diseases sources comprehensively – so I used both sources over a week or so and made notes on how they compared.
