The Editors are pleased to present the 21st edition of Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine. This 21st edition is a true landmark in medicine, spanning 71 years and multiple generations of trainees and practicing clinicians. While medicine and medical education have evolved, readers will appreciate how this classic textbook has retained enduring features that have distinguished it among medical texts—a sharp focus on the clinical presentation of disease, expert in-depth summaries of pathophysiology and treatment, and highlights of emerging frontiers of science and medicine. Indeed, Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine retains its conviction that, in the profession of medicine, we are all perpetual students with lifelong learning as our common goal.

Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine remains a definitive source of trusted content written by internationally renowned experts. Trainees will be reassured by the depth of content, comprehensive tables, and illuminating figures and clinical algorithms. Many examination questions are based on key testing points derived from Harrison’s chapters. A useful companion book, Harrison’s Self-Assessment and Board Review, includes over 1000 questions, offers comprehensive explanations of the correct answer, and provides links to the relevant chapters in the textbook.
