The Microbiology of Central Nervous System Infections, Volume 3, discusses modern approaches to the diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis of central nervous system (CNS) infections. This new release is divided into five sections that cover treatment strategies, imaging, molecular diagnosis, management of CNS infections with metal nanoparticles, and prophylaxis of CNS infections, including bacterial, viral and fungal infections. The last section contains a chapter on transmissible spongiform encephalopathies and modern trends in its diagnosis and treatment. University teachers, medical practitioners, graduate and postgraduate students, researchers in microbiology, and those in the pharmaceutical and laboratory diagnostic industries will find the book very important.
- Encompasses a broad range of central nervous system infections, including questions of etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and prophylaxis
- Written by highly professional and eminent surgeons, microbiologists and infectious disease specialists
- Includes scientific understanding and practical guidelines, making it interesting for both research scientists and practitioners
Teachers of universities; medical practitioners; graduate and postgraduate students; researchers in microbiology, pharmacology, and biotechnology; and specialists from pharmaceutical and laboratory diagnostic companies
