Medical Management of HIV and AIDS

This book gives information about the clinical presentation, management and future strategies relating to patients infected with HIV and showing AIDS symptoms. Each of the contributors developed an interest and acquired expertise in the disease from a more general medical background when the disease epidemic formed a significant part of the workload in the hospitals in which they worked. The text is organised by organ system (e.g. lungs, central nervous system, etc.) to allow the reader to focus on particular topics with ease. This book will be useful to physicians who encounter patients with AIDS in the course of their general duties. It will therefore be of interest to senior house officers, registrars and clinicians faced with controlling the effects of the disease.
