In both Europe  and North America, \u003cem\u003eCandida\u003c\/em\u003e infections predominate and much of  this book concentrates on the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis,  and treatment of these infections. Particular reference is made to the  cross-infection problems of \u003cem\u003eCandida\u003c\/em\u003e infection and the importance  of infection control and preventative measures. However, other fungal  infections are increasingly being seen in critically ill patients.  \u003cbr\u003e  This book is designed to offer a European and North American  perspective on each topic. There are many similarities in experience  and clinical practice but also significant differences that we hope  will stimulate further thought and study. We hope the book will be of  interest to intensivists, infectious disease specialists, medical  microbiologists, and all those with an involvement in critical care.  Progress in intensive care medicine is resulting in a growing  population of critically ill patients at risk of fungal infection.  Further improvements in survival will require a multidisciplinary  approach.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2002-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402070495\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-0977-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 198\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265554796684,"sku":"9781402070495","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402070495.jpg?v=1770783346","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781402070495","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
