The new second edition provides comprehensive coverage of fungal diseases of the lung and their causative agents, diagnosis and treatment. The book begins with a general introduction, followed by a discussion of laboratory diagnoses of fungal infections. Subsequent chapters provide in-depth coverage of specific fungal diseases, as well as allergies and other hypersensitivities. Additional material includes information on improved diagnostic techniques and new and investigational drugs. There is also an entirely new section dealing with the interrelationship between fungal infections and HIV-infected patients. The HIV pandemic, combined with the longer life expectancy of immunocompromised patients, makes this edition suitable reading for clinicians and researchers dealing with fungal disease of the lung.
