"Fungal infections affect millions of individuals worldwide. They a particular danger to immunocompromised individuals, such as those with HIV/AIDS, and invasive infections often have a mortality rate greater than 50%. This book examines our understanding of the biology of the major fungal pathogens, together with the host response, epidemiology of fungal diseases and current treatment strategies"--Provided by publisher |
