Features: Accompanying the development of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the Department of Infectious Diseases has gradually formed its own disciplinary characteristics through long-term clinical practice. The main areas it covers include: undetermined fever, sepsis, severe and difficult hospital-acquired infections, central nervous system infections, liver diseases, and the diagnosis and treatment of AIDS and other infectious diseases. Based on this work and drawing on mature experiences from domestic and international disciplines, this book consists of 11 chapters with 142 entries. Some diseases, such as smallpox, were declared globally eradicated by the World Health Organization in 1980, and poliomyelitis has also been basically eradicated in China. However, since some countries have used the causative microorganisms of these diseases as "biological weapons" in modern times, they pose a potential threat to human health. Therefore, these diseases are still included in this book. Since the beginning of this century, the incidence of AIDS in China has been increasing year by year. This book provides detailed introductions on clinical diagnostic and treatment measures as well as laboratory tests in relevant chapters. The book includes: General Introduction, Viral Infections, Rickettsial Infections, Chlamydial Infections, Mycoplasma Infections, Bacterial Infections, Mycobacterial Infections, etc.
