Book Description
In addition to the usual litany of pathogens that threaten all of us, patients with compromised immune status are susceptible to normally harmless microbial cohabitants. Such infections may become invasive and life-threatening, in recent years affecting growing numbers of patients. This book focuses on the implementation of diagnostic techniques for a special purpose, that of accurately and rapidly diagnosing infections of the immunocompromised patient.
