This continuing series explores different diseases to show the
science behind how disease-causing organisms affect the body.
Microorganisms have plagued humans since the beginning of time,
causing debilitating diseases and even death. But how, exactly, do
these microorganisms infect and cause disease? The books in this
series examine various microbiological scourges that have affected
humans as well as the steps that have been taken to identify,
isolate, prevent, and eradicate them. Each title will outline the
history and treatments of the diseases, highlighting how
improvements in prevention and treatment techniques have affected
the disease's impact on the world population. Infectious fungi are
among the most common disease-causing agents in the world. Whether
afflicted with ringworm or thrush, nearly 99 percent of all people
will contract a fungus at least once.
