Research on viral disease has expanded so rapidly that our knowledge now doubles almost every year, making it difficult to keep abreast of new findings. Bringing together the latest research in viral genetics, cytology, biochemistry, and immunology, Virology in Medicine provides the information most relevant to the practical treatment of viral disease. Concise, practice-oriented, and completely up to date, this volume is both a highly effective introduction for medical students and an invaluable reference for anyone with a need to understand viral diseases and their treatment.
