Most students of medicine are overwhelmed by the
sheer quantity of medical information potentially
applicable to the diagnosis and treatment of pa-
tients. The editors and authors summarize this vast
amount of information in Harrison’s Principles of
Internal Medicine , which is revised and updated
every three to four years. Although HPIM represents
a distillate of the broad field of internal medicine,
along with it is deep roots in the basic sciences, the
total information presented in the book grows steadi-
ly, as does the base of useful medical knowledge.
While it would be ideal to have a copy of HPIM avail-
able at all times, the sheer bulk and weight of the
book make this impractical. The editors, with the aid
of selected contributors, have condensed the clinical
portions of HPIM into this pocket-sized Companion
Handbook which residents and students can carry
through inpatient, outpatient, and emergency servic-
es of a teaching hospital. The Companion Handbook
contains brief summaries of the key features of the
diagnosis and treatment of the principal diseases
that are likely to be encountered on a medical ser-
vice. The inside cover (front and back) contain a
glossary listing the abbreviations used throughout
the book.
Preface
NOTE: In this User’s Manual, the Glossary can be
found on pages 32-34.

Preface
It is important to emphasize that the
Companion
Handbook should not and cannot be a replacement
for a textbook of internal medicine. Rather it is an
extension of the Thirteenth Edition of HPIM . The
Companion Handbook is meant to be used when the
house officer or student requires a brief introduction
to or reminder of some aspect of clinical medicine
but does not have immediate access to or the time
to consult HPIM . Since the amount of material pre-
sented is too brief to stand on its own, it is recom-
mended that the relevant subjects in a standard
textbook be consulted as soon as time permits.
Thus, we consider the two books, HPIM and the
Companion Handbook , a single educational pack-
age. The Editors

edge, changes in treatment and drug therapy are
required. The editors and the publisher of this work

their efforts to provide information that is complete
and generally accepted at the time of publication.
However, in view of the possibility of human error or
changes in medical sciences, neither the editors nor

warrants that the information contained herein is in
every respect accurate or complete and they are not

ers are encouraged to confirm the information con-
tained herein with other sources. For example, and

uct information sheet included in the package of

mended dose or in the contraindications for adminis-
tration. This recommendation is of particular
