Description
This book combines basic science and bench research with clinical applications. All aspects of work in the field of AIDS are examined, including molecular biology, clinical studies, and patient care. It also represents a marriage of the three fields of medicine prominent in this specialty - immunology, oncology and infectious disease. Both students and experienced practitioners will find this text to be a useful source of practical knowledge. The opening chapters cover basic research, molecular biology, animal models, immunobiology and the general clinical spectrum of AIDS and its related disorders, fundamentals of public health, biostatistics, and clinical study design. Subsequent chapters discuss AIDS in the context of women and children, specific geographic areas, and intravenous drug use.
