Recenzii

From the book reviews:
“This book describes the prognosis, assessment of risk factors, and common infectious problems in patients with cancer, along with conditions that mimic infectious processes in patients undergoing chemotherapy. … This book will be a useful resource for infectious disease fellows, oncology clinicians, or infectious disease practitioners taking care of patients in the bone marrow transplant unit. … Overall, this is a good read.” (Cezarina Mindru, Doody’s Book Reviews, December, 2012)
