Human Fungal Pathogens
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-642-39431-7 (ISBN)
This volume provides an overview of basic concepts in medical mycology. It introduces the concepts of fungal virulence for selected and major fungal pathogens, emphasizes the importance of the host and especially the hosts immune system for the development of fungal infection and also addresses clinical issues like diagnosis and therapy of fungal infections.
From Commensal to Pathogen: Candida albicans.- Aspergillus fumigatus: Saprotroph to Pathogen.- Systems Biology Approaches to Understand and Predict Fungal Virulence.- Receptor-Ligand Interactions in Fungal Infections.- Macrophages in the Immune Response against Cryptococcus.- T Cell Responses in Fungal Infections.- Molecular Mechanisms of Histoplasma Pathogenesis.- Visualizing Immune Responses in Fungal Infections - Established and Novel Methods.- Mucosal Immunology in Candida albicans Infection.- Invasive Aspergillosis in the Intensive Care Unit.- Molecular Epidemiology of Pneumocystis Outbreaks.- Infections Caused by Mucorales.- Diagnostics of Fungal Infections.- Therapeutic Strategies in Fungal Infections.- Antifungal Pharmacokinetics.
From the book reviews:
"The Editor is to be congratulated on largely achieving his aim of producing an inspiring work for the fungi of major medical concern, but dermatophytes and other opportunistic fungi do not feature as strongly as might be expected in such a title. ... this volume does approach that for the major human pathogens and should be accessible to both practising consultants and pathologists, as well as to researchers and those studying medical microbiology."
