Features: In the past 30-odd years, emerging infectious diseases have continuously appeared, and some old infectious diseases have resurfaced, forming a trend where new/emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases are aggressively attacking humans. This is a significant new challenge facing the medical community. This book provides a detailed introduction to the epidemiological trends, characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of recent new/emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. It not only focuses on newly emerged infectious diseases that have occurred domestically but also provides detailed information on emerging infectious diseases that may be introduced from other regions, striving to reflect domestic and international research and progress to help prevent such diseases.
The book is divided into five chapters and 54 sections, covering over 30 new/emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, as well as current hot and key issues, including general introductions, virus-caused new infectious diseases, bacteria-caused new infectious diseases, hot topics in other new infectious diseases and related syndromes, and new developments in re-emerging infectious diseases. This book serves as a reference for medical personnel engaged in infectious disease-related fields (including clinical disciplines such as infectious diseases, internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, etc., and basic medical sciences such as microbiology, epidemiology, immunology, and public health) for medical practice, teaching, research, and prevention. It is also suitable for medical college students and postgraduate students to study.
