PREFACE
Scientists from 24 countries who participated in the ~
Symposium on Candida and Candidamycosis, 24-28 April 1989, Antalya,
Turkey, have made important contributions to a better understanding
of Candida and its infections - by their presence, presentations and
discussions in the meeting. The Turkish Microbiological Society,
organizing the Symposium in the name of the Federation of European
Microbiological Societies (FEMS), thanks all participants for
realising this important meeting on such an important subject.
In this book the full manuscripts of invited and free papers
of the meeting are presented.
The Editors extend their sincere thanks to all contributors of
papers; to FEMS for encouraging and undertaking the arrangements for
publication; to Ege University Publishing House for printing; to
Plenum Publishing Company for publishing; and to all colleagues and
friends who with their help contributed to this book.
The Editors wish that this volume would contribute to a better
understanding of Candida and its infections by colleagues working
and/or interested in mycology and mycotic diseases.
