abstract: A book on infectious diseases based directly on clinical practice has been produced for family physicians. It identifies clear objectives oriented towards resolution of clinical problems. The book is organized on four fundamental principles: 1. to respond to pertinent problems in the practice of general medicine; 2. to respect the process of the family doctor's clinical practice, taking into account the means at his disposal; 3. to integrate the necessary basic science with the understanding of clinical and therapeutic decisions; 4. to limit the extent of basic and clinical knowledge, taking into account the nature and degree of complexity of the family doctor's decisions. Examples of these principles are given.
