This popular, annually updated internal medicine text is the flagship of the LANGE series. CMDT offers a complete resource covering the latest evidence-based developments in all aspects of outpatient and inpatient care and provides authoritative information about leading edge developments in diagnosis and therapy.

CURRENT Medical Diagnosis and Treatment provides a comprehensive, timely, and reliable resource to answer common clinical questions in everyday practice. No other medical text delivers so much practical, annually-updated clinical guidance in a print format.

The strategy for the 49th edition is to continue the re-orientation back to the LANGE approach emphasizing clinical content as well as to keep the length under control. We will continue to transition non-clinical but relevant content on line and eliminate non-relevant information. 8 new authors join this edition in line with our plan of replacing aging authors with younger more evidence-based ones.
