Medical Mycology: A Practical Approach (Inglese)

This book provides a concise yet authoritative account of the specialized methods used for the laboratory diagnosis of fungal infections, and for monitoring antifungal therapy. More comprehensive than any other available text, the volume includes detailed protocols for the collection and processing of specimens, and on the microscopical examination and culture of fungi from clinical material. The reader will full chapter coverage on the identification of the causal agents of superficial, subcutaneous, and systemic mycoses, as well as information on common fungal contaminants. Serodiagnostic tests, histopathy, and methods with antifungals are also discussed, making this equally useful as a bench-book for medical microbiologists and as a practical manual for courses in diagnostic medical mycology.
