Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.

Cardiovascular, respiratory, and related conditions cause more than 40 percent of all deaths globally, and their substantial burden is rising, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Their burden extends well beyond health effects to include significant economic and societal consequences. Most of these conditions are related, share risk factors, and have common control measures at the clinical, population, and policy levels. Lives can be extended and improved when these diseases are prevented, detected, and managed. This volume summarizes current knowledge and presents evidence-based interventions that are effective, cost-effective, and scalable in LMICs.

Respiratory tract infections are the infectious diseases that affect the respiratory tract, which is a part of the respiratory system and involved in respiration. These infections are classified into two groups - upper respiratory tract infections and lower respiratory tract infections. The upper respiratory tract is the airway above the glottis. It includes respiratory parts such as nose, pharynx, larynx, and sinuses. The infections of the upper respiratory tract include tonsillitis, sinusitis and otitis media and it causes symptoms such as sore throat, nasal congestion, headache and mild fever. The lower respiratory tract includes trachea, bronchioles, bronchial tubes and lungs. Its infections are more complicated than upper respiratory tract infections. Its most common examples include pneumonia and bronchitis. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the advancement of diagnosis, management and prevention of respiratory tract infections. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book. This book traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications.

The Oxford Textbook of Medical Mycology is a comprehensive reference text which brings together the science and medicine of human fungal disease. Written by a leading group of international authors to bring a global expertise, it is divided into sections that deal with the principles of mycology, the organisms, a systems based approach to management, fungal disease in specific patient groups, diagnosis, and treatment. The detailed clinical chapters take account of recent international guidelines on the management of fungal disease. With chapters covering recent developments in taxonomy, fungal genetics and other 'omics', epidemiology, pathogenesis, and immunology, this textbook is well suited to aid both scientists and clinicians. The extensive illustrations, tables, and in-depth coverage of topics, including discussion of the non-infective aspects of allergic and toxin mediated fungal disease, are designed to aid the understanding of mechanisms and pathology, and extend the usual approach to fungal disease. This textbook is essential reading for microbiologists, research scientists, infectious diseases clinicians, respiratory physicians, and those managing immunocompromised patients. Part of the Oxford Textbook in Infectious Disease and Microbiology series, it is also a useful companion text for students and trainees looking to supplement mycology courses and microbiology training.

All the infectious diseases related to the respiratory tract can be categorized as respiratory tract infection. Such type of infection can be divided into two types, namely, upper respiratory tract infection and lower respiratory tract infection. The upper respiratory tract consists of the nose, larynx, pharynx and sinuses. Some of the common types of infection associated with it include sinusitis, tonsillitis, influenza, common cold, laryngitis and pharyngitis. The lower respiratory tract consists of the lungs, trachea, bronchioles and the bronchial tubes. The common infections associated with the lower respiratory tract are bronchitis, influenza and pneumonia. The topics included in this book on respiratory infections are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. This book on respiratory infections is a collective contribution of a renowned group of international experts.

"Epidemic respiratory disease: the pneumonias and other infections of the respiratory tract accompanying influenza and measles" by Thomas M. Rivers is an important example of medical literature. Originally published in 1921, this book covers what was, at the time, cutting-edge research on respiratory illnesses. Though some of the information contained within this book would be considered outdated by current medical standards, it still presents an interesting look at modern medicine of the past. Thanks to books such as this, medical advancements have been able to reach their current states, leading to life-saving treatments for previously incurable diseases.

Respiratory infections are among the most common causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. These infections present a special challenge to physicians for several reasons, including of the recent disasters caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and bird and swine influenza, the increase in viral and bacterial resistance to currently available anti-microbial drugs, the increased frequency of new viral lung infections in clinical practice, and the worldwide emergence of deadly drug-resistant forms of TB. For these reasons, it is important for infectious disease specialists to have an overview of emerging respiratory infections.
