Human Respiratory Viral Infections (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Singh, Sunit K.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Using a multidisciplinary approach, this book is set at the level between the definitive reference work and an essential clinical manual. Exploring recent advances in human respiratory viral research, the text builds on the basic sciences of epidemiology, virology, and immunology to cover clinical diagnosis, mechanism of pathogenesis, manifestations of disease, impact, treatment, and management strategies. It reviews all the major human respiratory viral infections and describes the anatomy of the respiratory system. It also discusses risk factors associated with incidence of respiratory viral infections in different occupational and environmental settings.
