Features: Infectious Diseases (For Basic/Clinical/Preventive/Oral Medical Majors) - 6th Edition
The guiding ideology of the 6th edition of "Infectious Diseases" is basically the same as that of the 5th edition. It strives to adapt to the requirements of social progress and the development of the health sector in the 21st century, serving the needs of health professionals in terms of ideological and moral quality, physical and mental quality, and professional quality. It reflects the spirit of "Three Basics" (basic theory, basic knowledge, basic skills), "Three Specifics" (specific objects, specific requirements, specific limitations), and "Five Qualities" (ideological nature, scientific nature, inspirational nature, advanced nature, applicability). At the same time, it ensures organic connection with "Microbiology," "Immunology," "Parasitology," "Epidemiology," and "Pediatrics," preventing disconnection and unnecessary repetition, thereby forming a complete system for the entire teaching materials.
To align with the syllabi of most universities (with a maximum of 86 class hours), this edition has added the following topics within the specified word limit: Prion Infection (Kuru), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and the "Emergency Response Law for Public Health Emergencies." Additionally, due to the relatively increased number of cases of viral hepatitis, the content of this section has been expanded to 40,000 words. Since the clinical application of antimicrobial drugs has become increasingly important and is closely related to the content of Chapter 4, it has been moved from the appendix of the previous edition to Chapter 4.
