Infections in Transplant and Oncology Patients, An Issue of Infectious Disease Clinics

Description

Transplant and oncology patients present a challenge to the infectious disease specialist because many of the entities that infect them are hard to diagnose.  Chemotherapy may further complicate the situation, since it may contraindicate a biopsy or interfere with antibiotic therapy. This issue of Infectious Disease Clinics provides specific information on several entities with the purpose of helping physicians to best treat these difficult infections.
