With brand new color photographs and illustrations, the fourth edition of this top selling work continues to examine a variety of stealth pathogens, those bacteria with cell walls that are deficient in shape, structure, rigidity, and/or layering, thus making them difficult to diagnose and treat. This edition contains the first electron micrographs of amytotrophic laterial sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's spirochetes. It also features expanded coverage of Lyme disease, discussing its similarity to tuberculosis and syphilis. This book presents bacteria and fungi as they look and grow in the body, allowing researchers and practitioners to diagnose seemingly idiopathic diseases.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
The text is concise yet meticulously designed to inform the reader on practically all there is presently known about the CWD forms. Dr. Mattmans book is a valuable asset to any clinical microbiology unit which is actively engaged in the practice of good precise clinical microbiology.

This book provides the most extensive review of this subject presently available, and is an invaluable reference source.
Annals of Internal Medicine
This outstanding work constitutes a keystone for further studies on this intriguing chapter of bacteriology.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Incredibly important resource for researching disease,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cell Wall Deficient FormsStealth Pathogens (Hardcover)
This is a very important book. Cell wall deficient (CWD) forms of bacteria are hard to find and ignoring them, or the possibility that they can be causing a disease can be a mistake. This book walks you through the means for finding and the effects of CWD bugs. I highly recommend that you read this book if you are serious about hunting diseases.
