Description
Candida infections have increased with the growing number of patients with altered host defenses, including AIDS victims and those receiving cancer chemotherapy, organ transplants and antibiotics. Updated and expanded, this edition covers all forms of candida infection, from superficial skin infections to life threatening hematogenous infections. New material covers neonatal candidiasis, chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, oral and oesophageal candidiasis, ophthalmitis and CNS infection and new syndromes affecting other organ systems. It also covers diagnostic tests and therapies, particularly antifungal agents.
