Oxford Textbook of Medical Mycology

The Oxford Textbook of Medical Mycology is a comprehensive and authoritative reference dedicated to fungal diseases affecting humans. Part of the respected Oxford Textbooks in Infectious Disease and Microbiology series, this book brings together expert knowledge on the biology, diagnosis, and management of mycotic infections.

The textbook covers a wide range of topics, including fungal taxonomy and biology, host–fungus interactions, laboratory diagnosis, antifungal pharmacology, and clinical management of superficial, subcutaneous, systemic, and opportunistic mycoses. Special attention is given to infections in immunocompromised patients, an increasingly important area in modern medicine.

It also explores advances in molecular diagnostics, antifungal susceptibility testing, epidemiology, and emerging fungal pathogens. Clear illustrations, diagnostic algorithms, and evidence-based clinical guidance support both learning and clinical decision-making.

This book is an essential resource for infectious disease specialists, microbiologists, clinicians, laboratory professionals, and postgraduate students seeking an in-depth and reliable reference in medical mycology.
