Comprehensive up-to-date guide to clinical and diagnostic virology. Individual chapters cover viruses from A-Z, which are then grouped under syndromes. Liberal use of tables and algorithms enable quick access to key information. An ideal introduction for interested trainees and a practical reference for more experienced hospital clinicians and GPs.
