Laboratory Handbook of Medical Mycology summarizes the concepts dealing with the laboratory aspects of medical mycology. The publication first offers information on basic terminology and classification, laboratory safety, and clinical specimens. Discussions focus on tissue, abscess, blood, bone marrow, and urine specimens, biological hazards, disinfection and sterilization, grounding of electrical equipment, waste disposal, asexual and sexual reproduction, and vegetative growth. The text then takes a look at mold and yeast identification, including fermentation, temperature studies, asci and ascospores, zygomycetes, cycloheximide resistance, and sporulation and sterile isolates. The manuscript ponders on susceptibility testing and bioassay procedures, culture collection, and quality control. Topics include proficiency evaluations, media and equipment control, depositing unusual isolates in major culture collections, reconstituting lyophilized cultures, bioassay to determine drug levels in body fluids, and in vitro susceptibility testing. The publication is a dependable source of data for laboratory technologists, microbiologists, and mycologists engaged in safely isolating and accurately identifying fungi of medical importance.

Current Topics in Medical Mycology, is intended to summa- rize current research areas in medical mycology for medical mycologists and other scientists who are working in micro- biology and immunology. Topics to be included in each volume will serve as contemporary reviews, summaries of current advancements and future directions, and mecha- nisms to enhance the interdisciplinary use of medically im- portant fungi in understanding pathogenesis, epidemiology, mycotoxins, taxonomy, and other areas where basic, ap- plied, and clinical sciences are used.

Current Topics in Medical Mycology, which is a new annual series published by Springer-Verlag, is intended to summarize current topics in medical mycology for medical mycologists and other scientists who are work- ing in microbiology and immunology. Topics to be in- cluded in each year's volume will serve as contemporary reviews, summaries of current advancements and future directions, and mechanisms to enhance the interdiscipli- nary use of medically important fungi in the areas of pathogenesis, epidemiology, mycotoxins, taxonomy, and other areas where basic, applied, and clinical science are used.
