The book presents more than 425 color photomicrographs harvested over the author's 40-year career augmented by up-to-date text describing each microbial entity included and offering insightful comments on their clinical significance."

Volume 2:
"

• Presents clinical microbiology photographs of a range of bacterial, viral, parasitic, and fungal agents augmented with many photographs of patient presentation


• Provides visual images derived from an extensive personal collection of slides depicting the salient and unusual presentations of microorganisms encountered in clinical microbiology and infectious diseases


• Draws on the expertise of a distinguished clinical microbiologist


• Includes coverage of newly described microbial agents and their identifying characteristics

An Atlas of the Clinical Microbiology of Infectious Diseases, Volume Two: Viral, Fungal, and Parasitic Agents is the second of a series and partner to Volume One, which deals with Microbiological and Clinical Attributes. Filled with highly instructional visual images, this atlas covers typical and atypical presentations of viral, fungal and parasitic agents and offers insightful comments aiding their identification and clinical significance.
