Despite this, fungal infections cause considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. This volume is dedicated to the biology, clinical presentation and management of invasive fungal infections. Major pathogenic fungi are introduced by world-leading experts and the basic principles of fungal virulence are reviewed in the light of new results and experimental technologies that offer unprecedented insights into invasive infections caused by Aspergillus, Candida, Cryptococcus, Pneumocystis and Mucorales. In parallel, the clinical presentation of invasive fungal infections and current approaches to their diagnosis and treatment are summarized to provide an overview of human pathogenic fungi, linking pathogen biology to the clinical presentation of disease. 000696349 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000696349 650_0 $$aPathogenic fungi. 000696349 650_0 $$aMedical mycology. 000696349 7001_ $$aKurzai, Oliver,$$eeditor of compilation. 000696349 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tHuman fungal pathogens.$$bSecond edition$$z9783642394317$$w(OCoLC)857525313 000696349 830_0 $$aMycota ;$$v12. 000696349 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000696349 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-39432-4$$zOnline Access 000696349 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:696349$$pGLOBAL_SET 000696349 980__ $$aEBOOK 000696349 980__ $$aBIB 000696349 982__ $$aEbook 000696349 983__ $$aOnline 000696349 994__ $$a92$$bISE
