Virus structure, classification and antiviral therapy Herpesviruses 1 Herpesviruses 2 DNA viruses: adenovirus, parvovirus and poxvirus Measles, mumps and rubella Influenza viruses Parainfluenza and other respiratory viruses Enterovirus and viruses infecting the gastrointestinal tract Hepatitis viruses Tropical, exotic or arbovirus infections Mycology. Yeast infections Filamentous fungi Parasitology. Intestinal protozoa Malaria, leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis Gut helminths Tissue helminths Systemic infection. Congenital and perinatal infections HIV infection and AIDS Pyrexia of unknown origin and septicaemia Endocarditis, myocarditis and pericarditis Infections of the central nervous system Respiratory tract infections Urinary and genital infections Infections of the bones and joints Bacterial diarrhoeal disease Zoonoses Infections in immunocompromised patients Ocular infections Infections of the skin and soft issue

Summary: Medical Microbiology and Infection at a Glance is an invaluable revision aid for medical and allied health students and junior doctors, and is ideal for anyone seeking a comprehensive and concise guide to this subject area. This concise and popular introduction to medical microbiology and infection encapsulates the fundamental facts and principles of this rapidly growing and changing subject area. Written by experienced clinicians and teachers, it covers the basic concepts of medical microbiology, and the main human pathogens and infectious syndromes, in an accessible and lucid format.
