Hunter Tropical Medicine Emerging Infectious Disease

Infectious disease problems are very common in the emergency department, and with international travel and bioterrorism adding new angles, the emergency physician must increasingly be aware of common and more exotic/tropical sources of infection. Infectious Diseases: Emergency Department Diagnosis and Management will be the first book--written by emergency physicians for emergency physicians--to offer a clinical reference on diagnosis and management of infectious diseases as the present to the Emergency Department.

Environmental Health Engineering in the Tropics An Introductory Text Sandy Cairncross UNICEF/WHO Interagency Team for Guinea Worm Eradication, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso Richard Feachem Dean, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK Many major infectious diseases in tropical and developing countries are amenable to control by environmental measures. This book describes these infections and the measures that may be used effectively against them. The infections described include the diarrhoeal diseases, the common gut worms, guinea worm, schistosomiasis, malaria, bancroftian filariasis and other mosquito-borne infections. The environmental interventions that receive most attention are domestic water supplies and improved excreta disposal. Appropriate technology for these interventions, and also their impact on infectious diseases, are documented in detail. The book is intended both for those from an engineering background and those whose training is in medicine or public health. The second edition has been extensively revised to incorporate the lessons learned from the International Drinking Water and Sanitation Decade (1981-1990). These have included technical advances, particularly regarding composting, the safe re-use of wastes, and low-cost sewerage, but the chief lessons relate to policy and the strategies for implementing water and sanitation programmes. A new chapter on surface water drainage has been added. The references have been brought up to date to cover the extensive recent literature in this field.

GIDEON-Global Infectious Disease Epidemiology Network - GIDEON (Global Infectious Diseases On Line) is a web-based program for decision support and informatics in the fields of Infectious Diseases and Geographic Medicine. As of 2005, more than 300 generic infectious diseases occur haphazardly in time and space and are challenged by over 250 drugs and vaccines.

Infectious disease - In medicine, infectious disease or communicable disease is disease caused by a biological agent (e.g.

Tropical disease - Tropical diseases are infectious diseases that either occur uniquely in tropical and subtropical regions (which is rare) or, more commonly, are either more widespread in the tropics or more difficult to prevent or control.

Archives of Internal Medicine - Archives of Internal Medicine is a bi-monthly professional medical journal published by the American Medical Association. Archives of Internal Medicine publishes original, peer-reviewed manuscripts on a full spectrum of internal medicine topics including cardiovascular disease, geriatrics, infectious disease, gastroenterology, endocrinology, allergy, and immunology.
