Current Topics in Medical Mycology, which is a new annual series
published by Springer-Verlag, is intended to summarize current
topics in medical mycology for medical mycologists and other
scientists who are work- ing in microbiology and immunology. Topics
to be in- cluded in each year's volume will serve as contemporary
reviews, summaries of current advancements and future directions,
and mechanisms to enhance the interdiscipli- nary use of medically
important fungi in the areas of pathogenesis, epidemiology,
mycotoxins, taxonomy, and other areas where basic, applied, and
clinical science are used. Michael R. McGinnis Contents ix
