Infectious & contagious diseases; Medical microbiology & virology

Medical mycology deals with those infections in humans, and animals resulting from pathogenic fungi. As a separate discipline, the concepts, methods, diagnosis, and treatment of fungal diseases of humans are specific. Incorporating the very latest information concerning this area of vital interest to research and clinical microbiologists,Fundamental Medical Mycology balances clinical and laboratory knowledge to provide clinical laboratory scientists, medical students, interns, residents, and fellows with in-depth coverage of each fungal disease and its etiologic agents from both the laboratory and clinical perspective. Richly illustrated throughout, the book includes numerous case presentations.

Reviews for Fundamental Medical Mycology

This text provides the first book in almost 10 years for students and clinicians interested in the medical microbiology of fungi. This new book's scope is well balanced between medical and microbiological knowledge of the major fungi pathogenic for humans. (Clinical Laboratory International, 19 December 2011)
