Publisher's Synopsis
As literature in the field of infectious diseases increases in complexity and volume, it has become apparent that there is a need for timely, concise summaries and critical commentaries on subjects pertinent to infectious disease specialists, senior house officers, and those in allied fields. This annual volume helps to fill that gap. This volume presents a collection of topics, chosen by the editors, for their timeliness. The purpose is not to give a complete overview of any one topic but rather to place each into appropriate perspective and define its present and future status.
