Infos

The Pocket Guide to Fungal Infection presents, in a
convenient and practical format, the major features of fungal
infections in humans, providing visual information for each
pathogen and the infections they cause.





The second edition has been extensively revised. In each chapter
the clinical manifestations and management sections have been
revised and updated to include recently developed antifungal drugs.
New sections include;



* * Emerging yeast and filamentous fungal pathogens

* Antifungal susceptibility testing

* Antifungal assays

* Molecular methods in medical mycology

* Mycological aspects of the indoor environment.





Medical Mycology lends itself to illustration and as such there
are over 40 additional images in this edition. Recent references
have been added and the list of online resources has been
updated.



This Guide presents a succinct account of the clinical
manifestations, laboratory diagnosis and management of fungal
infections world-wide. It is an ideal publication for those who
encounter fungal infections as part of their everyday practice,
including medical microbiologists, infectious disease specialists,
dermatologists and general practitioners.

Rezensionen

"The book provides a wealth of excellent photos and a brief outline
of diagnostic, clinical, and therapeutic issues for common fungal
infections. This is a well designed new edition of a guide
published six years ago. It has the advantages of brevity and
outstanding photographs."

Doodys website

"...the authors are to be congratulated on improving an already
worthwhile text. This book is ideal for the non-expert and it more
than fulfils the role for which it was designed."
