Micropedia is a user-friendly, practical guide of clinical microbiology. Broken down into 150+ entries each focused on a specific pathogen or group of pathogens, Micropedia provides a concise review of over 16 different aspects of each pathogen's clinical presentation including modes of transmission, symptomatology, lab and imaging findings, relevant diagnostic testing, treatment, and additional pearls. To provide a comprehensive perspective each entry is sourced from a respected infectious disease textbook, a popularly-used electronic clinical resource, and recently published journal review articles.
Additionally contains a search function which allows for search based on common names, eponyms, geography, acuity, vaccinations, and the entire content of each entry.
Although it already contains >100 of the most commonly seen pathogens in infectious disease, future updates will continue to add hundreds more.
New content is a helpful addition covering a few of the helminths and less common bugs that were left out before. Def the best med micro app I've found so far. Font size could be a little bigger tho.
Interesting and informative app!

My father recently came down with a hand infection as a result of a nasty cat bite, and I was able to easily use the app to understand the doctors' diagnosis.
Very Informative

Excellent source of information on over 200+ common local and global pathogens including the Zika virus. Great for medical professionals seeking a quick reference guide for infectious disease, but also very user friendly for the lay person. Provides a handy summary of the disease, geographical location, incubation periods, at risk populations, etc.. Very easy to use and provides extremely accurate and updated information.
This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included.
The next update is now available with 30 additional pathogens including some lesser known gram negatives, cutaneous fungi, and a very nasty algae. Also includes a few formatting corrections for issues with font size.
