Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of current professional knowledge concerning the etiology, occurrence, diagnostic options and epidemiological characteristics of a broad range of infectious diseases, with particular emphasis on preventive and enforcement measures against their spread. The hundred infections covered include diseases common in European conditions as well as those epidemiologically significant in other climate zones that may be imported by foreigners or people returning from these regions. The infections are arranged alphabetically for easy reference, while current maps document the occurrence of exotic diseases. Appendices contain practical principles for collecting biological material for microbiological examination, selected applicable legal regulations, a list of infections requiring isolation and compulsory treatment, and the current vaccination schedule. The book offers a quick reference for general practitioners and can also serve as study material in undergraduate and postgraduate education in infectious disease epidemiology.
