Old-World Spotted Fevers: Global Status (GIDEON ebook series) By GIDEON Informatics Inc GIDEON Informatics Inc Kindle Edition List Price: $1.00* *(As of 16:34 Pacific 30 Jul 2010 More Info) Click Here Product Description: Old-World Spotted Fevers: Global Status is one in a series of GIDEON e-books which summarize the status of individual infectious diseases, in every country of the world. Data are based on the GIDEON database (www.gideononline.com) which relies on standard text books, peer-review journals, Health Ministry reports and ProMED, supplemented by an ongoing search of the medical literature. Chapters are arranged alphabetically, by country name. Each section is divided into five subsections. 1. Descriptive epidemiology 2. Summary of clinical features 3. Global status of the disease 4. Status of the disease in a specific country 5. References There are 347 generic infectious diseases in the world today. Many of these are universally distributed, with little published data regarding their status in specific countries. Although other diseases are not endemic to given countries, data have been reported concerning imported infection, acquisition by expatriates or other context. All such literature will be included. Old-World Spotted Fevers: Global Status includes separate sections on African tick bite fever, Astrakhan fever, Israeli spotted fever, Rickettsia sibirica mongolotimonae infection, Spotted fevers - Old World, and Rickettsialpox. The availability and quality of literature regarding specific infectious diseases vary from country to country. As such, you may find that many of the sections in this book are limited to a general discussion of the disease itself, with data regarding only a few countries. This is a book about the geography and epidemiology of Infection. Comprehensive and up-to-date information regarding the causes, diagnosis and treatment of each disease is available in the GIDEON database. Many of the diseases are generic. For example, such designations as Viral meningitis and Equine encephalitis include a number of individual diseases. These appear under the subheading, Synonyms, listed after each disease.
