Infections of the Central Nervous System, 4e is a clinical reference on central nervous system infections that has been thoroughly revised from prior editions. Over 70 leading experts provide comprehensive, current information on all infections--both neural-specific and systemic--that involve the central nervous system. Areas with significant new clinical information include treatment of tuberculosis, non-tubercular mycobacterial infections, brain abscess, and Lyme disease. |
