Synopsis:
This 17th and millennial edition of the most widely recognized sourcebook on infectious diseases continues to be the reference manual for all public health workers. Under the expert editorship of Dr. Chin, the new Control of Communicable Diseases Manual provides accurate, informative text for public health workers in official and voluntary health agencies, including those serving with the armed forces and other governmental agencies. As with prior editions, CCDM provides accurate, informative text for all students of medicine. Each listing in this easy to read, easy to understand manual includes identification, infectious agent, occurrence, mode of transmission, incubation period, susceptibility and resistance, and methods of control, including prevention and epidemic control measures. Extensive revising and updating were made for close to one-third of the diseases contained in the 16th edition, reflecting newer guidelines, recommendations and other changes that have occurred in the last five years. This 17th edition includes information on Hendra and Nipah viral diseases. A section has also been added for public health workers who may confront bioterrorism. This edition has been thoroughly updated by the world's leading experts in their fields. Several hundred scientists from all over the world have reviewed and revised this important work to make it the most accurate, up-to-date resource available anywhere.
