Infections caused by fungi have recently attracted the attention
of both clinicians and basic researchers given the heavy burden
they represent for any health system. The mortality and morbidity
rates associated to mycosis are progressively rising simply
because some of these diseases are still neglected by health-care
workers and due to the changing sensitivity to antifungal drugs
displayed by these organisms. In this book, both researchers and
clinicians working in the medical mycology field explore the most
recent literature about specific mycosis; placing in one concise
chapter thoroughly revisions of the current knowledge on
virulence factors, recognition by immune cells, immunoevasion,
epidemiology, new diagnosis trends and therapeutics. This book is
recommended to researchers, physicians and students interested in
medical mycology.
