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.
