Although this is primarily a practical textbook on the diagnosis and treatment of ocular infections (viral, bacterial, spirochetal, fungal, and parasitic), its introductory chapters cover relevant basic concepts in immunology, microbiology, and laboratory procedures. Particularly troublesome infectious diseases, such as Lyme disease and leprosy, are covered in special chapters. The book is primarily intended for ophthalmologists, but internists may find it to be a useful supplement to their own major textbooks.
