Infektionssjukdomar är det globalt största hälsoproblemet och kunskap om mikrobiologi, immunologi och vårdhygien är allt viktigare för att behandla patienterna optimalt. I denna andra upplaga av läroboken har samtliga kapitel uppdaterats, och dessutom har boken utökats med ett kapitel om klinisk immunologi och transfusionsmedicin.Boken ger förståelse för hur kroppens immunförsvar arbetar för att motverka infektion. Den beskriver även mikroorganismernas struktur och de väsentliga virulensmekanismer de använder för att orsaka infektion. De bakteriearter, virus, svampar och parasiter som är kliniskt relevanta är ingående beskrivna, liksom de metoder som används på laboratoriet för att diagnostisera dem.Bokens kliniska kapitel utgår från organ- och sjukdomsbilder. Här introduceras olika sjukdomstillstånd samt patogenesen vid dessa, provtagning och särskilda observandum vid tolkning av provsvaren, både inom klinisk mikrobiologi och klinisk immunologi.Medicinsk mikrobiologi & immunologi riktar sig i första hand till studenter inom läkar-, biomedicin- och biomedicinska analytikerprogrammen. Även studenter med intresse för mikrobiologi och immunologi kan ha stor nytta av den. Boken är också lämplig för läkare och andra yrkesgrupper verksamma inom mikrobiologi, immunologi och infektionsmedicin.

The parasitic load in cold northern climates is widely under-appreciated. Many texts on parasitology concentrate on tropical parasitic infections, so the reader can be forgiven for thinking that parasites are not a problem in the northern part of the world. Parasites of the Colder Climates redresses the balance by focusing on parasites indigenous to the cooler climates of the northern hemisphere. A multi-authored text-with chapters covering Scandinavia and the Baltic States, Canada, Alaska, Iceland and Russia-this book provides a comprehensive overview of the parasites present in northern climates and the diseases that they cause. Topics include epidemiology, biology and pathogenesis, clinical presentations, laboratory investigations and methods for laboratory diagnosis. Parasites of the Colder Climates presents a concise single reference of diagnostic methods and preventative information for epidemiologists, clinicians and parasitologists and forms a unique account suitable for researchers, advanced undergraduates and postgraduates.
