API Textbook of Medicine (2 Vols Set), 13/E | Comprehensive Internal Medicine Textbook for Postgraduates, DNB Trainees and Physicians | Symptom-based Clinical Approach to Evidence-based Management

API Textbook of Medicine is the 13th edition of the internal medicine reference published for the Association of Physicians of India (API), presented as a two-volume set. It combines bedside clinical skills with current science, offering an India-focused account of internal medicine across the range of clinical settings, from first patient contact to evidence-based management. The publisher describes this edition as integrating traditional bedside skills with modern advances in genomics, artificial intelligence and digital health, and as incorporating ethics, communication skills, mental health and the medical humanities.

The work is organised into specialty sections, each with its own section editors, running from the art and ethics of medicine and a symptoms, syndromes and clinical-approach section through infectious diseases, cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, hepatology, pulmonology, rheumatology, hematology and further systems. Across 249 chapters it gives particular attention to conditions common in India, including tropical and emerging infections and the rising burden of noncommunicable disease, and to cost-effective, resource-sensitive diagnosis and treatment.

Chapters open with basic considerations and a clinical approach, then move to investigations and management, and are supported by flowcharts, algorithms, comparison tables, clinical figures and references to major trials and current guidelines.
