The
knowledge and practice of clinical virology continues to expand. This new fifth
edition has thirty-six comprehensive chapters, each of which has been
extensively revised or rewritten, with the addition of new colour plates.
This updated version
takes into account knowledge accumulated in molecular biology with its
applications for laboratory diagnosis, immunisation and antiviral chemotherapy.
Each chapter highlights the clinical features and epidemiological patterns of
infection. Similarly, in response to the global concern of the threat posed by
new viruses, a new chapter on Emerging Infections is included.
There is also new
material on Hospital Acquired Infections, including some advice relating to
SARS, that will be of benefit to those dealing with the day-to-day management
of patients in hospital.
