About this title

Synopsis

The rapid accretion of knowledge in the field of virology has demanded the addition of new material and the revision of nearly every chapter of Volume 4 "Virology". The text is newly divided into two parts. The first deals in a general way with the properties of viruses and with viral infections, and includes for the first time articles on infections in immunocompromised patients, immunization, antiviral therapy and diagnostic methods. Part 2 is devoted to individual viruses, groups of viruses and clinical syndromes. There is a new chapter on parvoviruses, and retroviruses now have a sizeable chapter of their own, which includes a comprehensive account of AIDS.
