Coccidioidomycosis

edited by D. A. STEVENS. xvii + 279 pages, illustrated. Plenum Publishing Corporation, 227 West 17th Street, New York, N.Y. 10011. 1980. $28.50

This is a worthy replacement for Fiese's Coccidioidomycosis of 1958 which is now out of date, out of print and unobtainable. Fifteen authors have written this useful and readable text consisting of 23 chapters. The authors, A. Catanzaro, S. C. Deresinski, D. J. Drutz, J. N. Galgiani, R. P. Harvey, R. W. Huntington, M. Huppert, P. H. Jacobs, P. C. Kelly, A. Lavetter, D. Pappagianis, E. A. Petersen, D. Salkin, D. A. Stevens and S. H. Sun, are investigators with recent and very extensive experience. Approximately one half of the book contains basic, academic knowledge including history, mycological diagnosis, epidemiology, immunology, serology and serodiagnosis of coccidioidomycosis and mycology of Coccidioides immitis. The remaining half consists of pathology and classification of coccidioidomycosis. Also, individual chapters on primary, pulmonary, meningeal, cutaneous, genitourinary, ophthalmic coccidioidomycosis and infection of the bones and joints, and other less frequently observed coccidioidal syndromes are included.
