Current Topics in Medical Mycology, which is a new annual series published by Springer-Verlag, is intended to summarize current topics in medical mycology for medical mycologists and other scientists who are work ing in microbiology and immunology. Topics to be in cluded in each year's volume will serve as contemporary reviews, summaries of current advancements and future directions, and mechanisms to enhance the interdiscipli nary use of medically important fungi in the areas of pathogenesis, epidemiology, mycotoxins, taxonomy, and other areas where basic, applied, and clinical science are used.
