In this book, we discuss the changing medical and public profile of
fungal infections in the period 1850–2000. We consider four sets of diseases:
ringworm and athlete’s foot; thrush or candidiasis ; endemic, geographically
specific infections in North America and mycotoxins; and aspergillosis.
The main
purpose of the book, as its title implies, is to serve as a primer. The contents
are divided into two parts. The first deals with the clinical, theoretical and
experimental aspects of the subject, the second outlines the laboratory
procedures useful in examining a patient suspected of having one of the various
mycoses.
