Human Herpesviruses
This comprehensive account of the human herpesviruses provides an encyclopedic overview of their basic virol- ogy and clinical manifestations. This group of viruses includes human simplex type 1 and 2, Epstein–Barr virus, Kaposi’s Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, cytom- egalovirus, HHV6A, 6B, and 7, and varicella-zoster virus. The viral diseases and cancers they cause are significant and often recurrent. Their prevalence in the developed world accounts for a major burden of disease, and as a result there is a great deal of research into the pathophysi- ology of infection and immunobiology. Another important area covered within this volume concerns antiviral ther- apy and the development of vaccines. All these aspects are covered in depth, both scientifically and in terms of clinical guidelines for patient care. The text is illustrated generously throughout and is fully referenced to the latest research and developments.
