Inhaltsangabe

Providing the medical practitioner with a broad scientific understanding, this book discusses the causative organism, its requisite ecosystem, disease epidemiology, host-Borrelia interactions, diagnostic testing, clinical manifestations, therapeutic options, and long term prognosis. It explicitly reviews both the basic biology of the infection and practical clinical aspects, linking the two to demonstrate what is and is not attributable to this infection. It is an authoritative guide for medics and researchers involved with diagnosing and treating Lyme, covering biology, epidemiology and therapeutics.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Educated at MIT and Harvard and received his clinical training at the University of Chicago and Massachusetts General Hospital. Currently Professor of Neurology and Medicine at New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine, he began his career on the neurology faculty of SUNY Stony Brook, just as Lyme disease was being characterized. The multidisciplinary collaborative group there was able to substantially improve the knowledge base regarding this infection. An author or contributor to approximately 150 articles and chapters, Dr. Halperin lectures widely. He serves on the Guideline Development Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology, has been a long-standing examiner for the Neurology Board examination, and has been heavily involved in patient outcome improvement at Atlantic Health, the multihospital system in New Jersey where he now leads Neurosciences. Under his leadership, Overlook Hospital's Neuroscience program has rapidly become recognized as the state's best and busiest.
