Synopsis

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.

Review

praise for previous editions:
"With admirable clarity the authors - all highly regarded experts in their respective fields - present the clinician with a supremely readable and practical text. The emphasis here is pragmatic, although there is sufficient pathogenesis and physiology to provide a fine balance."
(Journal of the American Medical Association)
"A practical book designed for clinicians of all specialties who care for immunocompromised patients. It is a resource book that provides useful information and can also serve as a starting point for an immediate diagnostic or therapeutic strategy."
(Immunology Today)
"The editors and contributors are to be commended for their commitment to the challenge of providing a practical summary of the developments in so rapidly expanding a field."
(ASM News)
"A very good book indeed and can be recommended."
(The Lancet)
