Major advances in transplantation techniques have expanded access to lifesaving therapies and improved outcomes in these high-risk populations. An understanding of the biology of these infections, host conditions, and the limitations of technologies used to detect and quantify such pathogens is critical to optimal care.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis new edition of \u003ci\u003eDiagnostic Microbiology of the Immunocompromised Host\u003c\/i\u003e covers all aspects of state-of-the-art diagnostics for infectious complications in the immunocompromised patient.
