Infectious disease doctors also play a role in the creation of vaccines that guard against disease and stop infection outbreaks. Jonas Salk, the virologist who invented the polio vaccine, is one example of an i
Systemic mycoses, once thought to be rare, exotic diseases, are more frequently being recognized as agents of serious infections in a diverse and emergent group of patients. Opportunistic fungal infections represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the immunocompromised patient ( ...
1.2 Retrovirus infectivity: What we mean and how we measure it When it comes to cell-free virions, infectivity is the intrinsic ability of a retrovirus particle to establish infection of a target cell. In other words, infectivity describes the infectious power of the virion particle. However, ...
Susceptibility to infectious and parasitic agents is of greater concern. The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has stated that camelids should be classified as ruminants because, “regardless of their taxonomic classification, camelids meet the definition of ruminants and are regu...
Early diagnosis, timely resuscitation, and aggressive surgical debridement are the key to a successful clinical outcome.Chinese 背景:如果没有早期诊断和治疗, 颈部坏死性筋膜炎就会是可能致命的罕见疾病。我们的目的是研究患有颈部坏死性筋膜炎(CNF)的患者的临床表现、放射学和微生物诊断、治疗和手术结果。材料和...
studies on visual impairment and blindness, which focus on bilateral disease in the over-50s. Moreover, in many cases it is hard to differentiate between infectious and immune-mediated diseases. Since infectious eye diseases can be preventable and frequently affect younger people, we argue that in...

Long COVID (LC) occurs after at least 10% of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, yet its etiology remains poorly understood. We used ‘omic” assays and serology to deeply characterize the global and SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity in the blood of individuals...
The degenerative diseases also must be differentiated from inflammatory (infectious and noninfectious), neoplastic, and toxic disorders. Specific diagnostic tests are available for most of these conditions and are discussed later in this chapter. ...
Basic Principles of Infectious Disease Equine clinicians devote tremendous effort to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases. Detailed and current information on specific infectious diseases in the context of organ systems is provided elsewhere in this book, and in-depth discussi...
