Description

This book describes the anatomy of the meninges and the clinical signs and symptoms of meningitis caused by bacterial (mostly), viral, and fungal pathogens. Individual organisms that cause meningitis worldwide are dealt with in specific chapters, describing in detail how these pathogens interact with the human host at both molecular and cellular levels. It provides a thorough understanding of bacterial virulence factors, adhesion and invasion mechanisms, the nature of known host cell receptors and the host cell response. Available In Print
