Among the several modes of diagnostic testing for infections, serological (i. e. antibody determination) studies are still heavily used. Serodiagnosis of the Infectious Diseasesexamines this topic in a contemporary context, and in so doing utilizes serodiagnosis ofMycoplasma pneumoniaeinfection as the study model. Major serological methods are reviewed, as is the chronological development of serodiagnosis for this infection. There are many important parallels which are applicable to the serodiagnosis of any infectious disease, and history reminds us of how these commonalities need to be reviewed, whether for existing, emerging or newly discovered infectious diseases. Serodiagnosis of the InfectiousDiseasesis a valuable introduction for infectious disease specialists, bacteriology experts, diagnostic laboratorians and medical students, and technologists taking the microbiology diagnostic methods course. | Serodiagnosis of the Infectious Diseases by Nevio Cimolai, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
