Pulmonary Infections and Immunity

Presenting the basic concepts and clinical implications of respiratory infection, with special emphasis on the role of the immune system, the field's leading researchers contribute detailed chapters on most of the major pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Their work will stimulate new research by microbiologists and immunologists, teach clinicians the interaction between microorganisms and the host, and provide health professionals with information necessary to evaluate public health procedures.Chmel, H. is the author of 'Pulmonary Infections and Immunity' with ISBN 9780306446092 and ISBN 030644609X.
