The face of infectious diseases has changed since the second
edition of A Guide to Specimen Management in Clinical Microbiology
was published in 1999. Despite improved surveillance and
vaccinations, tens of millions of people visit physicians annually
for a possible microbial or parasitic infection. Identifying the
infectious agent in a patient remains a top priority, and proper
identification begins with careful collection, appropriate
packaging and transport, and responsible reporting of patient
specimens. For these reasons, A Guide to Specimen Management in
Clinical Microbiology is as essential as ever. The book is divided
into four sections and features tips and words of wisdom that come
directly from experts in the field. Communicating laboratory needs
explains to all members of the healthcare team what role the
clinical microbiology laboratory plays in patient care. It also
emphasizes that microbiology specimens contain living organisms
that require proper handling to remain viable. Specimen management
policies and rationale provides a framework for creating a specimen
management policy and a specimen collection and handling manual
that, together, support good medicine and good laboratory practice.
Specimen collection and processing contains detailed protocols for
selecting, collecting, storing, and transporting adult and
pediatric specimens to the clinical microbiology laboratory. This
section can serve as a model for preparation of the specimen
management manual. Specimen management summary tables are handy
reference guides that provide answers to most questions regarding
the laboratory needs for a wide variety of bacterial, viral,
fungal, and parasitic organisms found in patient specimens. Because
patient care is a team effort, all members of the health care
teamaEURO"physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician
assistants, specimen collectors, and laboratoriansaEURO"will
benefit greatly from reading this book.
