Cutaneous Fungal Infections (Topics in Clinical Dermatology)

Book Description

Revised and updated in accordance with changing undergraduate course requirements, this new edition continues to provide a concise introduction to the fundamental properties and activities of fungi in their natural environment. This approach avoids the repetition of taxonomy and life cycle studies found in similar texts. The environmental perspective used to illustrate the book helps readers develop their understanding of basic principles.

This is the ideal book for students taking introductory mycology courses and for graduates starting to use fungi in their research.

"...deserves a prominent place on the student reading lists, and can be recommended to mycologists and non-mycologists alike as a stimulating insight into the fungal lifestyle". Plant Growth Regulation

Overview.......2004-02-20

This book is a dense review and overview of various aspects of fungal biology. In the foreword, the authors note that the book is intended for first and second year (university) students in biology (in Europe). The book is divided into three sections: the fungal lifestyle, including hyphae, mycelium, and substrate; the environment, including water, oxygen, light, temperature, and competition; and reproduction, including trophophase to idiophase, nuclear relationships, spores, germination, and interactions with man (sic). Some of the chapters, like the one on hyphae, are relatively extensive, and others, like the chapters in the environment section are only a few pages long and give just the briefest overview. As might be expected, the text is amply illustrated with photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts. There is a 4-page glossary at the beginning of the book, a classification scheme at the end of the book, a 4-page list of references for further readings, and an index. There are no study questions or suggested projects.

Book Description

Stresses molecular and biochemical studies of opportunistic and frank fungal pathogens! This book gives a comprehensive overview of human pathogenic fungi that offers a current and concise survey of virulence factors, host responses and recognition, treatment and diagnosis of infections, invasive enzymes, intracellular survival, morphogenesis, adaptation, and properties of major fungal pathogens that contribute to disease. Focuses on human fungal infections, including candidiasis, pneumocystosis, aspergillosis, and cryptococcosis. With over 3700 references to accommodate continuing study, Fungal Pathogenesis · covers natural and acquired immunity, vaccine development, and immune reconstitution · outlines rapid identification of major mycoses utilizing antigen capture and molecular assays · details signaling and phenotypic switching · discusses the value of genomics in validation · highlights state-of-the-art molecular methodologies to study disease-causing organisms · describes available and potential antifungal drug targets and drug development · considers predicting the consequences of drug resistance on patient management · presents topical observations on strain typing and variation · and more! Containing research into the virulence, immunity, diagnosis, and therapy of most common fungal infections, Fungal Pathogenesis is an unparalleled reference for microbiologists, virologists, pathologists and phytopathologists, infectious disease specialists, molecular and cell biologists, biochemists, immunologists, medical mycologists, biotechnologists, and geneticists, and an exceptional text for upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and medical school students in these disciplines.

Book Description

This new edition brings together in a single volume the clinical, mycological, immunological and therapeutic aspects of fungal infections occurring in the compromised patient. Chapter one outlines the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of fungal infection and chapter two presents the factors that predispose the compromised patient to fungal infection. These chapters serve as an introduction to the rest of the monograph, which is concerned with the diagnosis and management of particular fungal infections. Individual chapters deal in turn with each of the more frequent infections that occur in the compromised patient and an additional chapter brings together data on a number of the less common infections that have been reported. There is a new chapter which describes the manifestations of the various superficial infections in the compromised host, while a final section reviews serological methods used in diagnosis of fungal infection.

Definitely out of date.......2005-05-04

Time Out does a good job of detailing many options for what to do with yourself during your time off, but it is so woefully out of date that it mentions a few countries that are no longer in existence. It has very detailed information that must have been useful at the time it was written, but it can serve only as a stepping off point now. One would be better off going with something newer.
