Description and Table of Contents
Description
A clinically oriented text on human viral encephalitis, this book covers human neuropathology, clinical diagnosis and management. The material is organized by clinical entities as distinct from virus group, making it accessible to the practising clinician. Introductory chapters discuss human encephalitis, pathogenesis, clinical evaluation of the patient with encephalitis and general principles of management, and the later chapters deal with specific disease entities. This book is intended for trainees and specialists in the fields of neurological disease, microbiology and infectious disease.
