Current Topics in Medical Mycology

CURRENT TOPICS IN MEDICAL MYCOLOGY, VOLUME 4, like the pre-
ceding three volumes in the series, is intended to summarize
current research advances inmedical mycology. Topics ex-
plored in this volume include skin kinetics of azole anti-
fungal drugs; killer system interactions; fusarium-caused
hyalohyphamycosis; molecular technique for epidemiologic ty-
ping of Candida species; and the need for a mycoses-repor-
ting system.
