Author: Mindel, Adrian

Condition: New

This practical handbook was first published in response to the need by healthcare professionals for up-to-date, authoritative guidance on the day-to-day management of patients with HIV infection. Patients with AIDS and other HIV-related disorders present a host of varied and complex clinical problems, especially when the disease overlies other conditions. Despite the enormous amount of literature about HIV, it is often difficult to obtain practical information about patient management in a single, easy-to-use volume. The Second Edition of this pocket book has been extensively revised and updated in light of the vast amount of new research that has become available in the last five years. The authors provide concise information on clinical features, investigations, treatment and prevention, management and counseling. New chapters on the oral manifestations of HIV infection, pediatric infection, palliative care, and the international aspects of prevention and treatment are included. The contributors have been carefully selected and, without exception, are experts in their respective fields.
