ISBN: 9780306461071 / Angielski / Twarda / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Scientists and clinicians attending the last "New Directions in Antiviral Therapy" conference in late 1994 could hardly have predicted the revolution in the management of patients with HIV infection that has occurred since. Two new classes of antiretrovirals have been licensed, the second-site RT inhibitors and the protease inhibitors; the long in- cubation period of active HIV infection, when the infection is clinically latent, is now un- derstood to be a period of intense viral replication and turnover of CD4 lymphocytes; measurements of HI V RNA concentration in plasma have been shown to...
