`General practitioners are in the front line where viral diseases
are concerned, and they may sometimes need support in what is a
rapidly developing field. The twenty-first century has seen a
revolution in the speed and range of laboratory diagnosis as well
as a new phase in viral immunisation and antiviral treatment.
Advances in clinical medicine have led to new susceptibilities to
viruses, and pandemic viral diseases as well as expanding travel to
the developing world, have led to viral exposures that were rarely
encountered in the past. This useful book is based on case
vignettes that describe situations often seen in general practice.
It is based on plentiful references to the current literature and
brings the latest knowledge on laboratory diagnostics, infection
control/public health measures and antiviral treatments to the
attention of general practitioners and trainees in medical
microbiology and public health medicine. It can also serve as a
primer for postgraduate examinations in medicine. It can be read
with interest and referred to with benefit.' Prepublication review
