This illustrated case-based guide helps primary care physicians, nurses, and laboratory-based microbiologists better understand each other's requirements in collecting and interpreting specimens and thus improve the quality of patient care. The book focuses on three basic principles: how to decide if a specimen is clinically necessary; how to collect the specimen effectively, and how to interpret the laboratory report. At the beginning of each chapter, a case scenario is used to identify critical steps in processing a particular specimen type, followed by quick action guides to assess current practice and implement necessary changes in procedure.
