(Ebook) Principles and Practice of Clinical Virology, Fifth Edition by Arie J. Zuckerman, Jangu E. Banatvala, John R. Pattison, Paul Griffiths, Barry Schoub ISBN 9780470020975, 9780470843383, 0470020970, 0470843381
The knowledge and practice of clinical virology continues to expand. This new fifth edition has thirty-six comprehensive chapters, each of which has been extensively revised or rewritten, with the addition of new colour plates.
This updated version takes into account knowledge accumulated in molecular biology with its applications for laboratory diagnosis, immunisation and antiviral chemotherapy. Each chapter highlights the clinical features and epidemiological patterns of infection. Similarly, in response to the global concern of the threat posed by new viruses, a new chapter on Emerging Infections is included.
There is also new material on Hospital Acquired Infections, including some advice relating to SARS, that will be of benefit to those dealing with the day-to-day management of patients in hospital.
