The Third Edition of this volume is a clinical reference on fungal diseases of the lung. The book provides information on all pulmonary fungal diseases seen in current practice and on the diagnostic tests and therapies that are now available.

Recommended in the Brandon/Hill selected list of print books and journals for the small medical library - April 2001 & 2003 Thoroughly updated and reorganised, the Third Edition of this volume is the most comprehensive clinical reference on fungal diseases of the lung. The book provides authoritative information on all pulmonary fungal diseases seen in current practice and on the diagnostic tests and therapies that are now available. The Third Edition presents complete information on new antifungal agents, including oral and intravenous fluconazole, oral itraconazole, and lipid formulations of amphotericin-B. Chapters on specific diseases follow a new, more user-friendly structure: epidemiology and ecology of the fungus; pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of the disease; and treatment in normal, immunocompromised, and HIV-infected hosts. All chapters include detailed algorithms for treatment and prevention. Illustrations show morphology of each organism, histopathology, and characteristic chest radiographs
