Reviews

'This comprehensive text will provide an excellent guide to all the many health-care professionals, including those in training, who deal with patients who have, or may have, a virus infection. The rigorous structure to each chapter, with clear tables and concise factual exposition makes it easy to look up specific queries, or to learn about a specific infection in depth. This is a timely and very welcome addition to the canon of medical textbooks, given the increasing importance and relevance of clinical virology to general medicine.' Will Irving, Professor and Honorary Consultant in Virology, University of Nottingham and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust 'This concise guide proves invaluable for those working within clinical virology and studying for CICE/FRCPath Part 1. As it is organised by individual viruses and clinical syndromes, it serves as both a quick reference guide and an effective teaching tool. Personally I have found the first edition of this book to be very useful throughout my career so far, so an updated second edition is most welcome!' Hayley Colton, SpR in Medical Virology/Infectious Diseases, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
