Summary:
In the almost ten years since the publication of the first edition of
An Atlas of Differential Diagnosis in HIV Disease, there have been
significant developments in clinical HIV care. The growth of AIDS in
the developing world is continuing at an alarming rate, the
introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy has presented
new complications, and the increased longevity of HIV-infected
patients has changed the issues involved in long-term HIV management.
Completely revised to reflect these changes and incorporating new
clinical information, this second edition includes:·Increased
coverage of new and re-emerging diseases such as tuberculosis,
tumors, and more esoteric diseases·Discussions of drug-related
side-effects such as the hyperlipidemias produced by antiretroviral
drugs·The different categories of antiretroviral drug therapy, such
as nuceleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, non-nucleosides, and
protease inhibitors·Updates infections and fungal diseases of the
skin and the side-effects of drug interactions·Revised presentation
of Pneumocystis, lung tumors, and lymphocytic interstitial
pneumoniaSuccinct explanations combined with copious illustrations
make this an essential resource for the care and management of HIV
patients.
