Transplant Infections 3/e

Transplant Infections is a practical, clinically focused reference covering the common and more unusual bacterial,
viral, and fungal infections affecting patients who have received stem cell or solid organ transplants. It provides a
comprehensive review of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of opportunistic infections and presents strategies
for infection prevention and control. Highlights of the Third Edition include a chapter on new immunosuppressive agents
and expanded coverage of tropical infections and West Nile virus.
