Clinical virology

By: Richman, Douglas DContributor(s): Whitley, Richard J [editor] | Hayden, Frederick G [editor]Publication details: Washington, DC, USA : ASM Press, 2017Edition: 4th edDescription: xvi, 1489 p. : illustrations (some color) ; 29 cmISBN: 9781555819422Subject(s): Virus diseases | Virus Diseases - diagnosis | Diagnostic virology | Virus Diseases - therapy | Viruses - pathogenicity | Antiviral Agents - therapeutic useDDC classification: QW160 Summary: Clinical virology incorporates a spectrum of disciplines, ranging from molecular and cellular biology, X-ray crystallography, genetics, immunology, and vaccinology to public health, treatment, and epidemiology to the global socioeconomic impact of disease and clinical practice. It is one of the most dynamic and rapidly changing fields of clinical medicine, and this new edition reflects the latest research in the field with extensive revisions and updates. In recent years, new members of several virus families have been identified, including species from the Polyomaviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, and Bunyaviridae, and new viral pathogens, such as the camel-associated novel coronavirus causing the SARS-like Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), have also emerged. Other re-emerging pathogens, such as chikungunya virus and Zika virus, have spread geographically, caused major outbreaks and newly recognized complications, like congenital Zika syndrome. These threats are covered in this new edition of Clinical Virology. Clinical Virology covers broad topics in virology, including immune responses, vaccinology, laboratory diagnosis, and principles of antiviral therapy, as well as detailed considerations of significant organ system syndromes caused by viral infections. The book also provides overviews of specific etiologic agents, including discussions of their molecular virology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, laboratory diagnosis, management, and prevention. Clinical Virology is a comprehensive collection that presents the diverse agents and diseases associated with human viral infections and provides the critical information scientists and health care professionals need to stay current. -- from back cover.
