Review

praise for previous editions:
"With admirable clarity the authors - all highly regarded experts in their respective fields - present the clinician with a supremely readable and practical text. The emphasis here is pragmatic, although there is sufficient pathogenesis and physiology to provide a fine balance."
(Journal of the American Medical Association)
"A practical book designed for clinicians of all specialties who care for immunocompromised patients. It is a resource book that provides useful information and can also serve as a starting point for an immediate diagnostic or therapeutic strategy."
(Immunology Today)
"The editors and contributors are to be commended for their commitment to the challenge of providing a practical summary of the developments in so rapidly expanding a field."
(ASM News)
"A very good book indeed and can be recommended."
(The Lancet)
