This volume is organized to reflect current changes in teaching practice, emphasizing the conflict between man and microbe. Sections describe first the adversaries (the microbes and parasites versus the immune system), the conflicts (from adherance and entry to the uneasy truce between host and parasite), the consequences of the conflicts (the clinical manifestations of the conflict), and strategies for control at individual, hospital and community level.
Part 1 The adversaries: microbes and parasites; host-parasite relationship; the organisms; the innate defences of the body; adaptive responses in effective defence; the basis of antigen recognition; cellular basis of adaptive immune; responses; qualitative analysis of host defence; systems; immunological reaction producing tissue damage. Part 2 Conflicts: entry, exit and transmission; natural defence mechanisms; spread throughout the body; adaptive immune mechanisms and recovery from infection; parasite survival strategies and persistent infection; pathological consequences of infection. Part 3 Diagnosis and clinical manifestations: general principles and specimen quality; microbiological techniques: cultural and non-cultural; specific specimens; upper respiratory tract; the eye; lower respiratory tract; urinary tract infection; sexually transmitted diseases; gastrointestinal tract and liver; obstetric and perinatal infection; central nervous system; skin, bone, joints and muscle; multisystem infection; pyrexia of unknown origin; infection in the compromised host. Part 4 Strategies for control: introduction; chemotherapy; vaccines; therapy based on natural defenses; prevention (individual and community); hospital infection, sterilization and disinfection.
