Description
The knowledge and practice of clinical virology continues toexpand. This new fifth edition has thirty-six comprehensivechapters, each of which has been extensively revised or rewritten,with the addition of new colour plates.
This updated version takes into account knowledge accumulated inmolecular biology with its applications for laboratory diagnosis,immunisation and antiviral chemotherapy. Each chapterhighlights the clinical features and epidemiological patterns ofinfection. Similarly, in response to the global concern of thethreat posed by new viruses, a new chapter on Emerging Infectionsis included.
There is also new material on Hospital Acquired Infections,including some advice relating to SARS, that will be of benefit tothose dealing with the day-to-day management of patients inhospital.
