The Oxford Textbook of Medical Mycology is a comprehensive
reference text which brings together the science and medicine of human
fungal disease. Written by a leading group of international authors to
bring a global expertise, it is divided into sections that deal with the
principles of mycology, the organisms, a systems based approach to
management, fungal disease in specific patient groups, diagnosis, and
treatment.
The detailed clinical chapters take account of recent
international guidelines on the management of fungal disease. With
chapters covering recent developments in taxonomy, fungal genetics and
other 'omics', epidemiology, pathogenesis, and immunology, this textbook
is well suited to aid both scientists and clinicians.
The
extensive illustrations, tables, and in-depth coverage of topics,
including discussion of the non-infective aspects of allergic and toxin
mediated fungal disease, are designed to aid the understanding of
mechanisms and pathology, and extend the usual approach to fungal
disease.
This textbook is essential reading for microbiologists,
research scientists, infectious diseases clinicians, respiratory
physicians, and those managing immunocompromised patients. Part of the Oxford Textbook in Infectious Disease and Microbiology
series, it is also a useful companion text for students and trainees
looking to supplement mycology courses and microbiology training.
