A multifaceted approach to the detection and characterization of infections encountered in this high-risk patient group.
Examines a wide range of approaches and challenges to infectious disease diagnostics for immunocompromised patients.
Provides a broad explanation of the causes of immune suppression, the populations at risk for infections, and the various kinds of infections.
Addresses crucial laboratory diagnostic methods for individual pathogens.
Details a more systematic perspective on the affected organs in immunocompromised patients.
Serves as a reference for laboratory professionals, infectious disease physicians, oncologists, transplant specialists, and other healthcare providers who care for immunocompromised patients.
This title is published by the American Society of Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
