Product Description

This new volume is designed to assist clinicians in the diagnosis andtherapy of patients with suspected viral encephalitis. The authors have organized the volume according to the clinical and epidemiological information available at the time of presentation of the patients rather than according to principles of viral taxonomy. Emphasis is on neuropathological descriptions and pathogenesis concepts, reflecting the authors' belief that an understanding of pathogenesis facilitates the diagnostic process and is central to therapeutic intervention. The authors cover the full range of human encephalitis/encephalopathy, including HIV/AIDS, prion diseases, and smallpox.

5.0 out of 5 stars FACES 2003 review, Sep 25 2003

Wendy Station (Vancouver, BC CANADA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Viral Encephalitis in Humans (Hardcover)

Text was passed from hand to hand at the FACES 2003 Encephalitis Conference, and received very positive feedback from the survivors, caregivers and loved ones who viewed it. It seems every person there wishes to acquire a copy for medical professionals in their own neighbourhood. An excellent reference book.
