Review
"noticeably larger than the previous edition and covers several new areas ... The introductory chapters have been updated and ... The next chapter on antifungal drugs has been undergone extensive changes ... The newly licensed antifungal drugs are also covered ... For the first time in this edition relevant references have been included at the end of each chapter, which provide a useful starting point if further information is required ... . This book is ideal to dip into for specific pieces of information ... Overall, the book is very useful and one to which many people will refer regularly. It succeeds in its stated aim of being “concise and up to date” and for those who have to deal with fungal infections in clinical practice, it is a valuable source of information."
