The screenshots on the left shows
how nicely organized and classified is
the approach to infectious diseases
whereby we can look up information
by system affected, microorganism, or
antimicrobial. Even classes of drugs
and bugs can be looked up.
Looking at the right screenshot we
see two examples of ID topics in
children osteomyelitis and bacterial
meningitis in neonates.
Each topic divided into empiric Rx
(extremely useful), specific Rx, other
info and also a note that we can write
about a specific infectious disease.
References are given at the end and
they seem to be carefully selected.

On the left we see another excellent
feature which further confirms that
Epocrates is designed by physicians is
the ability to which antibiotics cover a
certain bug. This is usually missing
from pharma books and we always
wish to have our old microbiology
lecture notes again!
On the right we included few
examples of missing pediatric topics in
Epocrates ID such as no UTI coverage
or no chlamydia pneumonia or
chlamydia conjunctivitis or no
indications of amoxicillin in children's
UTI! We really wish that they'll expand
their pediatric ID database.
