Description
This book is directed toward the molecular composition, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and control of congenital and other related
diseases of the newborn that are caused by a variety of viruses. These viruses comprise several families that include Herpesviridae
(HSV-1, HSV-2, HSV-6, HSV-7, CMV and varcilla-zoster); Parvoviridae (parvovirus B19); Lentiviridae (HIV); Hepadnaviridae (HBV); Flaviviridae
(HCV); and Togaviridae (RV).
Leading researchers in childhood diseases and virology from Brazil, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Spain,
and the United States of America report on the up-to-date advances in the molecular virology, immunology, biochemistry, pathology, diagnosis,
prevalence and treatment of selected congenital and other related diseases of the newborn.
