Laboratory Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases - Principles and Practice: Vol. 1: Bacterial, Mycotic, and Parasitic Diseases

Laboratory Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases is an essential reference designed to give both laboratory scientists and clinicians a deeper understanding of the commonly known infectious diseases and their etiologic agents. No other reference provides this important link of the principles and practice of laboratory diagnosis with extensive information on disease, symptomology, pathogenesis, treatment, and control.

From the reviews:

"This comprehensive work on the laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases with its more than 2000 pages in 2 volumes differs from books with similar contents in a number of aspects. ... Numerous figures and schematic representations enhance the understanding of the text. – The 180 authors have created a work which will stand the test of practice in the hospital as well as in the laboratory." (W. Köhler, Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene, Vol. 317, May, 1991)
