What reference is used for infectious disease information?

IDSA practice guidelines
CDC
AHFS CDI
Sanford guide

The correct answer is: IDSA practice guidelines

The IDSA (Infectious Diseases Society of America) practice guidelines reference is used for infectious disease information because it comprises of clinical practice guidelines from experts in the field and is continuously updated to reflect the latest and most authoritative information on infectious diseases. Option B, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), is a reliable source of information, however it may not always have the most recent updates on infectious diseases. Option C, the AHFS CDI (American Hospital Formulary Service Clinical Diagnoses), provides information on drug therapy and treatment, but may not cover all of the latest infectious diseases. Option D, the Sanford guide, is a useful reference, but it is primarily focused on antimicrobial therapy and may not have comprehensive information on all infectious diseases. Therefore, the IDSA practice guidelines is the most accurate and reliable reference for infectious disease information.
