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-emergedrecently acquired significance in clinical practicerecently 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

Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS), Volume Two includes the experience of ESGAP workshops and courses on antibiotic stewardship since 2012. It combines clinical and laboratory information about AMS, with a focus on human medicine.

The ESCMID study group on antibiotic policies (ESGAP) is one of the most productive groups in the field, organizing courses and workshops. This book is an ideal tool for the participants of these workshops.

With short chapters (around 1500 words) written on different topics, the authors insisted on the following points: A 'hands on', practical approach, tips to increase success, a description of the most common mistakes, a global picture (out- and inpatient settings, all countries) and a short list of 10-20 landmark references.

Focuses on the most recent antimicrobial stewardship strategies Provides a detailed description of laboratory support 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

Emerging Infectious Diseases: Clinical Case Studies, Second Edition, Volume Three, is an easy-to-use, extraordinarily informative text that belongs on every clinician's shelf. The book elegantly synthesizes the clinical, microbiologic and epidemiologic information that is critical for patient diagnosis and for use in recognizing and mitigating outbreaks. The book presents cases with discussions that fill in the gaps on critical topics. Discussions on pathogenesis provide detailed microbiological information on each infection in a "teaching� style, thus making this resource interesting for a very broad audience. Includes more than 35 emerging infection cases based on newly emerging or re-emerging data Offers a balanced synthesis of basic and clinical sciences for each individual case, presenting clinical courses of cases in parallel with pathogenesis and detailed microbiological information Describes the prevalence and incidence of global issues and current therapeutic approaches Presents measures for infection control Covers recently emerging infectious diseases based on real cases, providing comprehensive information, including different aspects of the infection Includes discussions on Zika virus, Q-fever and influenza
