Clinical Mycology Books
Product Description
The first textbook of mycology ever to focus on the management of patients with fungal infections, CLINICAL MYCOLOGY represents an expert, authoritative examination of clinical problem-solving approaches to diagnosis and management. It offers specific recommendations for understanding, controlling, and preventing fungal infections based on underlying principles of epidemiology and infection control policy, pathogenesis, immunology, histopathology, and laboratory diagnosis and antifungal therapy. The book also covers etiologic agents of disease, fungal infections in unique hosts such as pediatric patients and patients with cancer or HIV, infections of the organ systems, and more. Extensive illustrations, tables, and photographs throughout the book highlight its clinical context and enhance the reader’s understanding of the theme.

Clinical Mycology is on balance weak in many areas, but most notably diagnosing trauma correlated opportunistic fungal bone infections. Many references are made to “uncommon” and “unusual” cases, but small mention is given to diagnostic methodolgy. See Clinical Mycology Online–”Opportunistic Fungal Infections” Reference–”Aspergillus seldom isolated from blood, urine, CSF.” Author doesn’t tell you that C.T. scans are an unreliable tool for diagnosing some fungal infections. See A.M. Sugar & C. A. Lyman “A Matter-of-fact Guide To Medically Vital Fungi And The Diseases They Cause” P.69 This is minimum in rank that you will not find in this book. A better alternative are two books, one by Fisher/Cook “Fundamentals of Diagnostic Mycology” and the other by Sugar/Lyman. Of course, there are also many strong articles worth reading in this book, and for that reason it is worth bookshelf space–

This is the first mycology book I’ve come across that really has a chapter on MYCOTOXINS and HUMAN DISEASES! Mycotoxins are the gone link between the common illnesses that farmers encounter every day and our common, chronic, human diseases (such as heart disease, infertility, and cancer). Just killing the fungus is not excellent enough to establish excellent health. Rather, reducing ones exposure to mycotoxins is equally as vital. This one chapter makes the rest of the book well worth it!
