Features: Infectious diseases are an important branch of medicine, closely related to all other disciplines in the field, and hold a significant position in medical practice. Infectious diseases are a scientific summary of humanity's long-term struggle against various pathogenic microorganisms and parasites and the infections they cause. Infectious diseases are inextricably linked with all medical disciplines, especially clinical medicine. Departments such as internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and others all deal with infectious diseases. Therefore, infectious diseases cover a broad scope and are highly valuable for clinical medical practitioners. The purpose of compiling this book is to comprehensively integrate the theoretical, knowledge, and techniques of infectious diseases, including recent advancements, with the hope of promoting improvements in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, as well as fostering the professional knowledge of physicians in infectious diseases and advancing research in the field. This is a comprehensive reference book on infectious diseases, and it is hoped that it will achieve the aforementioned goals and benefit the readers. However, the content of infectious diseases is vast and encompasses a wide range of areas; infections can occur in almost all tissues and organs of the human body, except for hair. With the development of modern science and medicine, the field of infectious diseases is constantly being updated and progressing rapidly. At the same time, due to the limited knowledge and expertise of the authors, this book may inevitably contain omissions and errors. We sincerely hope that readers will kindly provide corrections and suggestions.
