High-risk patients such as these require a unique set of healthcare solutions that take into consideration everything from the etiology and degree of immune suppression to the individual patient's nutritional status. This comprehensive volume examines a wide range of approaches and challenges to infectious disease diagnostics for immunocompromised patients.Diagnostic microbiologyTechniqueImmunological deficiency syndromesDiagnosisOpportunistic infectionsDiagnostic microbiologyTechnique.Immunological deficiency syndromesDiagnosis.Opportunistic infections.616.9/0475Hayden Randall T1699916MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830200203321Diagnostic microbiology of the immunocompromised host4082540UNINA
