You'll find emphasis throughout the text on prevention through control of environmental exposure, targeted use of antimicrobial agents, and isolation techniques where appropriate.A major portion of the book focuses on specific bacterial, viral, and fungal infectious agents. For each infectious agent, the text explains the specific risks and patterns of infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant settings and different solid organ transplant settings. The contributors weigh the benefits and risks of various prophylactic and therapeutic strategies and recommend appropriate options. The final section describes immune reconstitution strategies for prevention and treatment of infections.</p>
