Anybody know if they make a handbook a la DiPiro or Robbin's? The two-volume set is a little tough to lug around...

they do make Dipiro in handbook; I keep one around the pharmacy desk to save space
Not sure about Mandells having a pocket guide, but here is the Sanford guide to Infectious Disease. (I think this is supposed to be the Infectious Disease bible/quran/torah/etc)

Pshhh just use year brain. Who uses tertiary references
The Sanford Guide is good for recommended treatments and drug/bug sort of things, but it doesn't have anything for pathophysiology, diagnostics, etc. The DiPiro section on ID is alright, but it's a real basic level of knowledge.
Hopefully someone does...🙂
Dr. Cunha makes a nice guide with some short notes about clinical presentation, very good book to help see the practical side of abx.

Damn blackberry
If it's not in Sanford or hard to find/not that much info, I usually use hopkins abx guide which usually tells enough about patho and ancillary info. If I need more info than that there's probably an ID consult involved so I wouldn't worry too much about having a ginormous book.
Unless you are the ID consult...in which case nevermind everything I said

Haha, funny you should ask...I'm with the ID consult service now. Every time I see a book mention "ID consult recommended" I cringe a little.
The Hopkins Abx guide is awesome, though. Great rundown of almost everything. The only problem I find with it (and most other references) is that using it requires a diagnosis in hand. Without that, it's tough to come up with empiric treatment options (or lack thereof).

Used this in my infectious disease classes for my MPH, it's pretty detailed
