16 Viruses (Except Retroviruses) and Viral Diseases - Part 2Paul W. Brazis, MD, Mayo Clinic; Neil R Miller, M.D., Professor of Ophthalmology, Johns Hopkins University"Viruses are important causes not only of human systemic disease but also of neurologic and visual disease. It is not the purpose of this chapter to consider all known viruses that produce human disease or to consider all diseases produced by those viruses. Instead, we will restrict this chapter to ...
17 Complications of Cancer TherapyMark L. Moster, MD, Thomas Jefferson University; Rod Foroozan, M.D., Baylor College of Medicine"Patients with cancer frequently have neurologic, ophthalmologic, or neuro-ophthalmologic complications."

19 Topical Diagnosis of Chiasmal and Retrochiasmal DisordersLeonard A. Levin, MD, PhD. Chair of Ophthalmology, McGill University"The optic chiasm is one of the most important structures in neuro-ophthalmologic diagnosis. The arrangement of visual fibers in the chiasm accounts for the characteristic visual field defects caused by such diverse lesions as tumor, inflammation, demyelination, ischemia, and infiltration."

22 Spirochetal DiseasesLesser, Robert L"Spirochetes are widely distributed in nature and often are found in aquatic environments, but they colonize humans. All spirochetal infections are characterized by skin or mucous membrane penetration followed by a spirochetemia that produces damage during several clinical stages (2)."
23 Fungi and Mycotic DiseasesJoel M. Weinstein, MD"Opportunistic fungal infections are common and continue to increase in frequency and severity as a consequence of the use of immunosuppressive therapy after solid-organ transplantation and for a variety of diseases, particularly cancer, and because of the increasing prevalence of the acquired immun...
