Product 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. ...

Product Description
This book is about the role of heat shock proteins (hsps) in candidiasis, aspergillosis and dimorphic fungal infections. It examines fundamental issues, such as their role in pathogenicity and induction of an immune response, and clinical applications such as their value as diagnostic markers and targets for antifungal therapy. Topics covered include the possibility of immunotherapy for systemic candidiasis in the form of human recombinant antibodies to candidal hsp90, a putative role of hsp90 in the Candida albicans steroid-responsive receptor complex, parallels between the hsp90 of Aspergillus fumigatus and the water mould Achlya ambisexualis, and the role of hsp in adapting dimorphic fungi from a saprobic to a parasitic state. ...
