Stepwise coverage from basic science, epidemiology and pathogenesis through diagnosis, therapy and prevention. ? Dedicated sections on pediatric disease, pregnancy, HIV co-infection and other high-risk groups with practical decision points. ? Case-based learning using realistic ward, clinic and community vignettes that mirror OSCE, viva and board-style questions. ? Ready-reference tables summarizing investigations, drug regimens, adverse effects, monitoring plans and regimen modifications. ? Practical infection-control checklists, counseling scripts, discharge plans and team-based exercises for resource-limited and advanced settings. ?
