Summary:

Richardson (U. of Manchester, UK) and Warnock (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) offer a concise guide to the clinical manifestations, laboratory diagnosis, and management of superficial, subcutaneous, and systemic fungal infections found by clinical microbiologists, infectious disease specialists, dermatologists, hematologists, intensive care staff, genitourinary medicine specialists, and oncologists in European, American, and Australasian hospitals and general practices. They focus on clinical presentation, specimen collection, interpretation of laboratory findings, and choice of treatment regimen, as they discuss various types of antifungal drugs and fungal infections, from dermatophytosis to yeast infections to unusual fungal and pseudofungal infections, and include information on geographical distribution, the causal organism and its habitat, epidemiology, and differential diagnosis. Revised and updated, this edition has a new chapter on infections caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii. Some chapters have been deleted. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
