Description
This highly anticipated fourth edition of a well-regarded resource offers in-depth examinations of the latest developments in the management of infections in the immuno-compromised patient. Addressing the explosion of research information and clinical approaches that have emerged since the publication of the third edition, world-renowned experts maintain and enhance the lucid and accessible presentations that made the previous editions so popular. Covering every important aspect of compromised-host infection, this fourth edition offers several new features, including: discussions on infections that result from hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; the most recent developments in the management and prevention of infection in immunocompromised surgical patients; a detailed discussion of the management of AIDS; up-to-date, critical reviews of the current literature; practical management advice incorporating the latest scientific information; and a variety of perspectives that clarify complex patients care issues faced by the practitioner.
