内容説明・目次

内容説明

This landmark work is the first comprehensive book on all aspects of the AIDS problem in Africa. Because Africa has had a higher rate of HIV infection and more experience with AIDS than other regions, this authoritative review of Africa's experience will be invaluable to health care providers, researchers, and policy planners worldwide. A section on virology includes chapters on the etiology of AIDS, the biology of HIV-1 and HIV-2, other human retroviruses, animal retroviruses in Africa, diagnostic procedures, and vaccine development. An extensive section addresses clinical concerns such as diagnosis, the pathology of AIDS, associated cancers, opportunistic infections, neurologic and psychiatric manifestations, treatments, paediatric AIDS, and psychosocial issues. Other sections focus on epidemiology, transmission, and monitoring of the epidemic; preventive strategies; the social and economic impact of AIDS on Africa; and variations of the epidemic in different regions of Africa.
