Fundamental Medical Mycology

Medical mycology deals with those infections in humans (and animals) resulting from pathogenic fungi. As a separate discipline, the concepts, methods, diagnosis, and treatment of fungal diseases of humans are specific. Incorporating the very latest information concerning this area of vital interest to research and clinical microbiologists Fundamentals of Medical Mycology balances clinical and laboratory knowledge to provide medical students, interns, residents, and fellows with in–depth coverage of each fungal disease and its etiologic agents from both the laboratory and clinical perspective. Richly illustrated throughout, the book includes numerous mini–case presentations. Errol Reiss, H. Jean Shadomy, G. Marshall Lyon
