Principles and Practice of Clinical Virology

The Fifth Edition of Principles and Practice of Clinical Virology has been revised and expanded to reflect new findings in the field. This updated version takes into account knowledge accumulated in molecular biology, with its applications for laboratory diagnosis, immunization, and antiviral chemotherapy. Each chapter highlights the clinical features and epidemiological patterns of infection. Similarly, in response to the global concern of the threat posed by new viruses, a new chapter on Emerging Infections is included.
