Features: With the call to revitalize the discipline, the third edition of Practical Infectious Diseases was published. The editor-in-chief wrote a lengthy preface filled with deep reflections. Although the book title remains Practical Infectious Diseases, the actual content has already been focused on infectious diseases since the first edition. The third edition is characterized by its rich, up-to-date, and practical content. First, the number of diseases covered has been increased comprehensively, ranging from pathogens of various types. Additionally, a new chapter on diseases of arthropods and other multicellular animals has been added. Second, many current hot topics have been included, such as "Emerging/Re-emerging Infectious Diseases" and "The Past, Present, and Future of Infectious Diseases." To highlight the novelty and practicality, the relevant content has been significantly updated and expanded, including viral hepatitis, AIDS, and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Practical topics such as "Diagnostic Techniques for Infectious Diseases" and "Principles and Current Status of Treatment for Infectious Diseases" have been made into separate chapters. The content related to gene diagnostics, antimicrobial drugs, artificial liver, liver transplantation, and gene therapy has been updated and strengthened.
