Reseña del editor

With its rapid publication turnaround, this book aims to provide the most up-to-date information on the medical management of AIDS. From many authorities on the subject, this volume is revised and expanded to incorporate the newest developments and the latest care guidelines for HIV-infected patients. The book focuses on clinical issues and includes updates on the biology and epidemiology of HIV. In addition, it outlines the initial diagnostic evaluation of AIDS patients and reviews multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Features of this new edition include: a new chapter describing the various tests available; expanded coverage of antiretroviral chemotherapy that includes both new drugs and combination chemotherapy; a new chapter on alternative therapies - drugs available through "buyers' clubs" patronized by many HIV-infected patients and discussion of the side effects of these compounds that sometimes confuse the therapy administered by the physician; reviews of infectious complications of HIV infections from a clinical perspective, including the diagnosis and treatment of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and other protozoal, mycobacterial, fungal, bacterial and viral infections; reviews of the haematologic, endocrine, renal and cardiac complications of AIDS; details of the special problems faced by HIV-infected children and women; new coverage of the psychological manifestations of HIV infections and their management; and essays addressing the controversies of HIV testing and legal ramifications for physicians caring for this patient population.
