Description

IDENTIFYING FILAMENTOUS FUNGI: A CLINICAL LABORATORY HANDBOOK, by Guy St. Germain & Richard Summerbell. Medical mycology is a rapidly expanding discipline, increasing in importance & complexityl The dramatic increase in the number of immunocompromised patients, due to aids, indwelling devices, immunosuppression drugs & AIDS has lead to a dramatic increase in the number of mycotic infections. This has made in more important that ever for people in biomedical laoratories to develop & maintain expertise in mycology. INDENTIFYING FILAMENTOUS FUNGI: A CLINICAL LABORATORY HANDBOOK, is a clear, guid to the indentification of filamentous fungi, organisms mainly recognized through the microscopic examination. The authors provide a number of identification tools: precise drawings, photomicrographs, & color photographs for each of the many genera & species that are common & uncommon in clinical laboratories. An illustrated key is provided to make identification as easy as possible. Additionally clinical mycology methodology is presented in an easy-to-follow format.
