Publisher Comments:

The latest volume in the classic series, Current Clinical Topics in Infectious Diseases, addresses 17 of the most important and timely issues in infectious diseases. In concise, practical, and carefully edited chapters--from emerging diseases to common but pernicious illnesses-- Volume 19 offers a survey of the state-of-the-art on these topics. Among other hot topics are Chronic Fatigue Syndrome update, Sepsis in Ob-Gyn Patients, and Cutaneous Infections in HIV.

This year's 16 contributions include studies of the diagnosis of respiratory viruses in cancer and transplant patients, hospitalizing influenza in adults, emerging nosocomial infections and antimicrobial resistance, managing fever and neutropenia, clinical features and the laboratory diagnosis of Rhodococcus equi infection, and chronic fungal infection of the feet and nails.
