Summary

Each of the seven modules includes prerequisites, content outline, objectives, follow-up activities, references, and self-study examinations
Teaches proper laboratory practice and presents the biology and physiology of fungi, describing the epidemiology of fungal infections, defining fungal disease states, and emphasizing laboratory identification of fungi based on body sites
Test protocols and reagent recipes are highlighted in each module
Information about AIDS and immunocompromised patients has been added to the pertinent disease descriptions, following the discussion of causative organisms
Module 2 includes common techniques for fungal culture preservation, DNA testing for rapid identification, and antifungal therapeutics
