With contributions by a multidisciplinary team of nurses, physicians, and infectious disease specialists, the book includes material on the most recent and important new emerging infectious diseases:
Each chapter is amply illustrated with clinical case examples to demonstrate the pitfalls in differential diagnosis and elucidate proper management and treatment. Valuable appendices provide critical reference information for each of the bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic diseases.

"This interesting and well researched text avoids politicizing, yet the authors carefully discuss the demographic, psychosocial, behavioral, and health care technology-based factors that have contributed to infectious disease emergence and transmission. Strategies for dealing with these diseases are thoroughly and courageously discussed. The text is logically ordered and contains many references. Each chapter is accompanied by a succinct, yet inclusive, summary. Specific diseases have their own chapters; it is noteworthy that the authors have chosen to include prisons and bioterrorism in the discussion....Nursing students, nursing professionals, and allied health care practitioners can benefit from a careful reading of this text."
