Maintaining the features that made the previous editions so successful, the Third Edition of Laboratory Diagnosis of Viral Infections summarizes the clinical, epidemiological, pathogenetic, and immunological features of a certain disease or infection-providing laboratorians with a practical tool for the principles and techniques used in diagnostic virology. Contains a new chapter covering the important Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome! Fully updated since the last edition was published eight years ago and alphabetically arranged for quick and easy reference, Laboratory Diagnosis of Viral Infections, Third Edition now contains: a complete update on human herpesviruses 6, 7, and 8 expanded coverage of hepatitis, including enterically transmitted hepatitis viruses and parenterally transmitted viruses new material on rubella featuring instrumentation for determination of antibodies a new chapter on the serological diagnosis for selected viruses a new discussion on HPV and the diagnostic value of molecular detection of the viral DNA novel developments on rapid test methods for detection of cytomegalovirus new sections on current information and applications for the amplification and detection of nucleic acids in clinical specimens a detailed, up-to-date description of Epstein-Barr virus and its effect on immunocompromised patients and more! Specifically written for laboratory technologists responsible for supplying information to physicians to support or rule out a clinical diagnosis, Laboratory Diagnosis of Viral Infections, Third Edition is a hands-on resource for clinical virologists, clinical microbiologists, clinical pathologists, and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.

A concise clinical reference that facilitates the diagnosis of intrauterine and perinatally acquired infections was the goal in creating the Congenital and Perinatal Infections: A Concise Guide to Diagnosis. Information about the natural history, m- agement, and outcome of these infections is well detailed in many other sources and so has not been included. Rather, the focus of the book is diagnosis. The initial chapters provide general information about serological and nonserological assays that are used for the diagnosis of infections, and a chapter about the placenta includes details about histopathological findings that can be helpful with the diagnosis of congenital inf- tions. The remainder of the book is devoted to the diagnosis of specific congenital and/ or perinatal infections. As illustrated in the chapters about specific infections, the approach to diagnosis of a congenital or perinatally acquired infection in the neonate begins, when possible, with consideration and diagnosis of infection in the pregnant woman, knowledge of how the infection is transmitted, and the risk of that infection for the woman and her fetus or neonate. The possibility of congenital or perinatal infection in neonates is usually considered because of the diagnosis of, or concern about a s- cific infection in, a mother during pregnancy that can be transmitted to the neonate or because of clinical findings in the neonate at birth that suggest an infectious cause.

The book gives a comprehensive overview on the knowledge of virus infection relevant for humans and animals. For each virus family the molecular details of the virus particle and the viral replication cycle are described. In the case of virus types with relevance for human and/or animal health the data on molecular biology, genetics and virus-cell interaction are combined with those concerning, pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinics, prevention and therapy.

Fenner and White's Medical Virology, Fifth Edition provides an integrated view of related sciences, from cell biology, to medical epidemiology and human social behavior. The perspective represented by this book, that of medical virology as an infectious disease science, is meant to provide a starting point, an anchor, for those who must relate the subject to clinical practice, public health practice, scholarly research, and other endeavors. The book presents detailed exposition on the properties of viruses, how viruses replicate, and how viruses cause disease. These chapters are then followed by an overview of the principles of diagnosis, epidemiology, and how virus infections can be controlled. The first section concludes with a discussion on emergence and attempts to predict the next major public health challenges. These form a guide for delving into the specific diseases of interest to the reader as described in Part II. This lucid and concise, yet comprehensive, text is admirably suited to the needs of not only advanced students of science and medicine, but also postgraduate students, teachers, and research workers in all areas of virology. Features updated and expanded coverage of pathogenesis and immunity Contains the latest laboratory diagnostic methods Provides insights into clinical features of human viral disease, vaccines, chemotherapy, epidemiology, and control
