Antifungal Therapy, Second Edition cover

This new edition of Antifungal Therapy aims at providing concise, practical, need-to-know information for busy physicians dealing with fungal infections, such as infectious disease physicians, transplant surgeons, dermatologists, and intensivists, as well as basic scientists and pharmaceutical company researchers interested in the state of antifungal therapy. It provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the pertinent issues pertaining to antifungal treatment including the basics of clinical mycology, management insights for various infections, evidence-based treatment recommendations, and helpful tables summarizing currently available pharmacokinetics data.

Key Features

• Features useful information on administration, dosage and pharmacology of antifungal drugs that can be difficult to use in clinical practice

• Contains common Clinical Questions & Answers to highlight frequently encountered patient issues

• Covers clinical mycology essentials in addition to antifungal treatment to create a well-rounded reference

• Presents illustrations and clinical photos in full color to elucidate the concepts

• Provides detailed evidence of treatment recommendations

"This book succeeds overall as an important reference and a comprehensive review of the current state of antifungal therapy in humans. The up-to-date information makes it a useful resource for clinicians consulting for immunosuppressed patients with invasive mycoses. The scientific data presented and the clinical experience and insight of the expert authors on the use of newer antifungal drugs in the pediatric population in the last section will be
particularly useful in guiding practicing pediatricians in the care of their patients. Perhaps the last chapter is one of the most valuable of all, putting in perspective the mycobiome, which, as a part of the microbiome, plays a key role in health and disease."
