Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (Volume 6) by King K. Holmes,Stefano Bertozzi,Barry R. Bloom,Prabhat Jha Pdf

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.

Tuberculosis, Leprosy and Other Mycobacterial Diseases of Man and Animals by Harshini Mukundan,Mark A. Chambers,W. Ray Waters,Michelle H Larsen Pdf

Mycobacteria have been associated with human and animal disease for millennia. This book is founded on a principle of cross-disciplinary inclusion and the belief that by bringing together all members of the mycobacterial research community we could achieve a better understanding of mycobacteria and the diseases caused by them, and thus contribute to knowledge and the development of products to improve global health. It is based on a series of workshops, held since 2007, which have fostered an interdisciplinary approach and unique collaborations that benefit multiple scientific communities. The sharing of ideas and results across disciplines has allowed for enhancement of research in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. leprae and other non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Most of all, it has increased the knowledge of researchers who are developing vaccines, diagnostics and drugs to prevent, diagnose and treat some of the oldest pathogens of man. By bringing together a multidisciplinary team of leading scientists studying mycobacterial infections in humans and animals, the workshops have created a venue for sharing knowledge about the spectrum of mycobacterial diseases, exploring host-pathogen variability, and understanding what the commonalities and differences in disease presentation and host specificity teach us. The book is divided into six parts that discuss tuberculosis in humans; tuberculosis in domesticated and companion animal species; mycobacterial infections in zoo species; tuberculosis in wildlife; in vivo laboratory models of tuberculosis; and other mycobacterial diseases. This book serves to share the lessons learned from these workshops not only within the mycobacterial community, but also to a wider audience, as this approach may benefit other fields of research.

Mycobacterial Skin Infections by Domenico Bonamonte,Gianni Angelini Pdf

This well-illustrated book is a comprehensive guide to the cutaneous clinical presentations of mycobacterial infections. The Mycobacterium genus includes over 170 species, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) having been added to the obligate human pathogens such as M. tuberculosis and M. leprae. NTM are widely distributed in the environment with high isolation rates worldwide; the skin is a major target with variable clinical manifestations. A current resurgence in tuberculosis is aggravated by the synergy with human immunodeficiency virus, the breakdown of health care systems, and the rise in multidrug-resistant disease, as the incidence of leprosy remains stable, at around 250,000 new cases annually, regardless of effective antibiotic therapy. Presentations of various cutaneous infections caused by mycobacteria may be overlooked by clinicians owing the lack of familiarity with tuberculosis, leprosy, and the related NTM clinical features. This handy guide will help the dermatologist to spot the different clinical manifestations, make a prompt diagnosis, and apply effective treatment.
