NOTE: This foreword of the 16th Edition of THE MERCK MANUAL contains

page references not applicable to the book card.

It has been 93 years since THE MERCK MANUAL first appeared in 1899 as a

slender 262-page text titled MERCK’S MANUAL OF THE MATERIA MEDICA.

It was expressly designed to meet the needs of general practitioners in selecting

medications, noting that “memory is treacherous” and that even the most thor-

oughly informed physician needs a reminder “to make him at once master of the

situation and enable him to prescribe exactly what his judgment tells him is needed

for the occasion.” It was well received and, by the 6th Edition (1934), THE

MERCK MANUAL had become highly valued by medical students and house staff

as well; by the end of World War II the pocket-sized manual was an established fa-

vorite ready—reference book. Today THE MANUAL is the most widely used

medical text in the world. While the book has grown to about 2800 pages, its pri-

mary purpose remains the same—to provide useful clinical information to practic-

ing physicians, medical students, interns, residents, and other health care

professionals.

Fewer physicians now attempt to manage the whole range of medical disorders that

can occur in infants, children, and adults, but those who do must have available a

broad spectrum of current and accurate information. Specialists require precise in-

formation about subjects outside their areas of expertise. All physicians need more

and more information for study and examination purposes, as well as for patient

care. Keeping up with the rapid and extraordinary advances in cellular and molecu-

lar biology, molecular genetics, and medical technology is more challenging that

ever, but THE MERCK MANUAL continues to try to meet these needs, excluding

only details of surgical procedures.

Precisely how to we attempt to meet these needs? First, from a disease orientation,

THE MANUAL covers all but the most obscure disorders of mankind, not only

Foreword

those that a general internist might expect to encounter but also problems associ-

ated with pregnancy and delivery; common and serious disorders of neonates, in-

fants, and children; and many special situations. Disorders are organized mainly

according to the organ systems primarily affected, on the basis of their etiology (as

with most of the infectious diseases and disorders due to physical agents), or on

the basis of disciplines (e.g., gynecology, obstetrics, pediatrics, genetics, psychia-

try). In addition, THE MANUAL contains information for special circumstances,

such as radiation reactions and injuries, problems encountered in deep-sea diving,

and dental emergencies. The entire book is updated for each new edition, and new

subjects are added, such as discussions of genetic evaluation and counseling, hu-

man immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in children, sports medicine, hospice

medicine, cross-cultural issues in medicine, anabolic steroid abuse, and special

considerations in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on infants and chil-

dren. This edition has 140 more pages of text (approximately 5%) than the preced-

ing edition. We therefore urge you to check the Index whenever you need

information, even on unusual subjects or those not commonly found in other texts.

A completely disease-oriented compendium, however, would have serious limita-

tions. Since patients usually present with complaints or concerns that must be me-

ticulously described, sorted, and deciphered, many chapters are devoted to

discussions of symptoms and signs and of how to elicit the historical and physical

data required for diagnosis. Common clinical procedures and laboratory tests used

as diagnostic and management aids are described, with emphasis on their indica-

tions, contraindications, and possible complications. New and sophisticated labo-

ratory and technologic procedures are also described, with comments on their

uses, interpretations, and limitations.

Current therapy is presented for each disorder and supplemented with a separate

section on clinical pharmacology that describes general principles, new advances,

Foreword

(e.g., the role of drug receptors, plasma concentration monitoring), and details of

pharmacologic groups and specific agents; it even discusses the uses of placebos.

The use of complex equipment (e.g., respirators) is also described. Prophylaxis is

emphasized wherever possible. Finally, reference guides are provided for checking

normal values, for calculating dosages, and for converting weights, measures, and

volumes to metric equivalents.

Can so many subjects by adequately covered in a single book? You, the reader,

must be the ultimate judge, but we believe the answer is in the affirmative. This

edition required a concerted effort by many people, beginning with an internal

analysis and critique of the previous edition, even though it enjoyed highly favor-

able reviews and outstanding reader acceptance. Sections of that book were then

sent to outside experts who had had nothing to do with its preparation, to solicit

their most candid criticism. Published reviews and letters from readers were ana-

lyzed. Next, the Editorial Board met to compare reviews and critiques and to plan

this 16th Edition. Distinguished special consultants were enlisted to provide addi-

tional expertise. Then, 290 authors with outstanding qualifications, experience,

and knowledge were engaged. Their manuscripts were painstakingly edited by our

in-house staff to retain every valuable morsel of knowledge while eliminating

sometimes elegant but unneeded words. Each manuscript was then reviewed by a

member of the Editorial Board or a consultant. In many cases, additional special

reviewers were invited to comment. Every mention of a drug and its dosage was

reviewed by still another outside consultant. The objective of all these reviews was

to ensure accuracy, adequate and relevant coverage of each subject, and simple and

clean exposition. The authors then reworked, modified, and polished their manu-

scripts. Almost all of the manuscripts were revised at least 6 times; 15 to 20 revi-

sions were not uncommon. We believe that no other medical text undergoes as

many reviews and revisions as THE MERCK MANUAL does.

Owing to the extensive subject matter covered and to a successful tradition, the

style and organization of THE MANUAL have some unique characteristics. Read-

ers are urged to spend a few minutes reviewing the Guide for Readers (p. viii), the

Table of Contents at the beginning of each section (indicated by a thumb tab), and

the Index (p. 2717). Scrutiny of the arrangement of subject headings within each

section, of internal headings within a subject discussion, and of boldfaced terms in

the text will reveal a pattern of outlining intended to aid study of the text.

The foregoing description is a simplified review of the complex and arduous but

rewarding 5-year enterprise that culminated in the presentation of the 16th Edition

of THE MERCK MANUAL. The members of the Editorial Board, special consult-

ants, contributing authors, and in-house staff and their affiliations are listed on the

pages that follow. They deserve a degree of gratitude that cannot adequately be ex-

pressed here, but we know they will feel sufficiently rewarded if their efforts serve

your needs.

We hope this edition of THE MERCK MANUAL will be a welcome aid to you,

our readers—compatible with your needs and worthy of frequent use. Suggestions

for improvements will be warmly welcomed and carefully considered
