Foreword
With this edition, The Merck Manual celebrates its 100th birthday. When the editors of the 1st
Edition produced their 192-page compendium, they could not have realized the extent to which
medical knowledge would explode over the next century. The Mer ck Manual now fills 2,655
pages and covers countless diseases that were not known 100 years ago.
Although the knowledge of medicine has grown, the goal of The Mer ck Manual has not
changed -- T o provide useful clinical information to practicing physicians, medical students, interns, residents, nurses, pharmacists, and other health care professionals in a concise, complete,
and accurate manner. The Mer ck Manual continues to cover all the subjects expected in a textbook of internal medicine as well as detailed information on pediatrics, psychiatry, obstetrics, gynecology, dermatology, pharmacology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and a number of special
subjects. The Merck Manual quickly provides information that helps practitioners achieve optimal care. The more specialized the practice of medicine becomes, the more important such information becomes. Specialists as well as generalists must at some time quickly access information
about other specialties.
The 17th edition of The Merck Manual is the culmination of an arduous but rewarding 7-year
enterprise. Every topic has been updated, and many have been completely rewritten. T opics new
to this edition include hand disorders, prion diseases, death and dying, probabilities in clinical
medicine, multiple chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue syndrome, rehabilitation, smoking cessation, and drug therapy in the elderly, among others.
Because of the extensive subject matter covered and a successful tradition developed through
trials of successes and failures, The Merck Manual has some unique characteristics. Subject headings within each section, internal headings within a subject discussion, and boldfaced terms
in the text form an outline intended to help with use of the text.
We hope this edition of The Merck Manual will serve as an aid to you, our readers, compatible
with your needs and worthy of frequent use. Suggestions for improvements will be warmly welcomed and carefully considered.

Understanding Word Searches

When you do a word search, either by entering words at the word search screen or
by highlighting a word in the text, first
headings (in bold type) are searched for
exact matches. If no exact matches are
found in the headings and subheadings,
then the text is searched for exact
matches.
If no exact matches are found, the headings are searched for inexact matches,
such as inflections and synonyms. If no
inexact matches are found in the headings, then the text is searched for them.
A word search stops as soon as matches
are found at a level described above.

Pressing
