Description
The second edition of this concise and practical guide describes infections in geographical areas and provides information on disease risk, concomitant infections (such as co-prevalence of HIV and tuberculosis), and emerging bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections in a given geographical area of the world.
Infectious Diseases adopts a geographic approach, making it the only book to guide the healthcare worker towards a diagnosis based on the location of symptoms and travel history by encouraging the question “where have you been?”
New content covers MERS, Ebola, Zika, and infections transmitted during air and maritime travel.
This edition also covers the major infectious disease outbreaks framed in their geographic setting, such as H7N9 “bird flu” influenza, H1N1, Ebola, and Zika.
The outstanding international editor team boasts vast experience in various international infectious diseases and serves as journal editors and key leaders in infection surveillance.
