Critical Care Medicine

Over 350 color images demonstrating pathognomonic, atypical, rare and routine skin lesions. Tables for differential diagnosis of different skin lesions in the immunocompromised host. Complete coverage of infectious pathogens with the patterns of infection and the likely causes in different clinical settings.

Provides a detailed update on the management of infections in patients with hematologic malignancies. Explains the preventative roles of vaccination and anti-infective prophylaxis. Describes the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic infections.

This book details the clinical presentation, diagnoses, and management of an array of common infections and syndromes specific to neutropenic cancer patients, including real scenarios accompanied by color photos and radiographic results. Chapters include step-by-step tutorials, access to clinical answers on diagnosis and treatment, and a tabulated summary of the key points.

The aim of this book is to emphasize unique aspects of management of infectious diseases in the cancer patient. Ultimately, it is hoped that this volume will assist specialists in infectious diseases and haematology/oncology in the diagnosis, management and prevention of infection and optimization of the overall care of patients with malignancies.

This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of the concepts vital to a modern treatment of common and opportunistic infections in the immunocompromised host. Chapters are written by experts in the field, and include their views on gaps in the field and future directions of research.

Covers the must-know principles for diagnosing and managing opportunistic infections in immunocompromised populations and detailed aspects of their care - information not specifically covered in pediatric infectious disease textbooks or pediatric oncology books. Features algorithms in every chapter that provide visual, accessible overviews of treatment protocols.

Principles and Practice of Cancer Infectious Diseases is a comprehensive and insightful work dedicated to elucidating the problem of infections in cancer patients. This essential volume reviews common and less often encountered infections, while establishing the difficulties behind preventing, diagnosing, and treating infectious diseases in cancer patients.
