Produktbeschreibung

Unlike any other source on the subject, Fungal Infections in the Immune-Compromised provides an up-to-date account of fungal syndromes in immunocompromised patients and provides expert descriptions of their clinical manifestations and settings in which they cause illness. It covers the pros and cons of current and emerging diagnostic measures, techniques to incorporate new diagnostic tools and treatments into established clinical practices, and the most recent therapeutic strategies in patient care. The book supplies practical tools in the form of algorithms, slides, graphs, figures, photographs, and radiographs to assist in recognition and management of fungal illnesses.
