Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Associated with a Novel Bunyavirus

More than 30 newly emerged microorganisms and related diseases have been discovered in the past 20 years. Since these infections are so new, even infectious diseases experts and clinical microbiologists need more information. This book covers recently emerged infectious diseases based on real cases and provides comprehensive information including different aspects of the infections. Written in a 'teaching' style, this book is of interest to every medical specialist and student. * Includes more than 35 emerging infection cases based on the following criteria: newly emerged or re-emerged recently acquired significance in clinical practice recently radically changed in case management * Offers a balanced synthesis of basic and clinical sciences for each individual case, presenting clinical courses of the cases in parallel with the pathogenesis and detailed microbiological information for each infection * Describes the prevalence and incidence of the global issues and current therapeutic approaches * Presents the measures for infection control Content: Front-matter, Pages i,iii Copyright, Page iv Dedication, Page v List of Contributors, Pages xxi-xxiii, Jaffar A.
