| Abstract
|
:
|
"Continuing to serve as the definitive source on the subject, this reference offers a detailed update on the biology, pathogenesis, genetics, and immunology of Pneumocystis - offering invaluable research and previously unpublished findings for both scientists and clinicians studying opportunistic infections associated with HIV and other disorders." "Provides in-depth reviews on the development of new drugs, insights into host-pathogen interactions, emerging diagnostic techniques, global perspectives of the infection, additional susceptible populations, and future directions in the field."--BOOK JACKET.
