Chlamydiosis are common and hazardous diseases, yet their clinical and morphological aspects are rarely described in the literature. Visceral and brain lesions remain virtually unknown.
This book presents the results of long-term studies conducted by the authors and their collaborators, including pathologists, infectologists, neurologists, ophthalmologists, and urologists. It compares clinical (adults, infants, placentas) and experimental materials with modern literary data. Many aspects of this problem have never been addressed in world literature. The text includes well-illustrated clinical, laboratory, and morphological issues of lesions across all locations, with examples from our own practice. It presents modern views on the taxonomy, properties, and diagnostics of Chlamydia. The possible role of the pathogen in the development of non-infectious lesions is also discussed, and directions for further studies is outlined.
This book is valuable for specialists and students in general medicine, infectious diseases, urology, obstetrics and gynecology, neurology, pediatrics, neonatology, ophthalmology, pathology, and legal medicine.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
