This comprehensive and user-friendly volume focuses on the
intersection between the fields of nutrition and infectious
disease. It highlights the importance of nutritional status in
infectious disease outcomes, and the need to recognize the role
that nutrition plays in altering the risk of exposure and
susceptibility to infection, the severity of the disease, and the
effectiveness of treatment. Split into four parts, section one
begins with a conceptual model linking nutritional status and
infectious diseases, followed by primers on nutrition and immune
function, that can serve as resources for students, researchers and
practitioners. Section two provides accessible overviews of major
categories of pathogens and is intended to be used as antecedents
of pathogen-focused subsequent chapters, as well as to serve as
discrete educational resources for students, researchers, and
practitioners. The third section includes five in-depth case
studies on specific infectious diseases where nutrition-infection
interactions have been extensively explored: diarrheal and enteric
disease, HIV and tuberculosis, arboviruses, malaria, and
soil-transmitted helminths. The final section addresses
cross-cutting topics such as drug-nutrient interactions,
co-infections, and nutrition, infection, and climate change and
then concludes by consolidating relevant clinical and public health
approaches to addressing infection in the context of nutrition, and
thus providing a sharp focus on the clinical relevance of the
intersection between nutrition and infection Written by experts in
the field, Nutrition and Infectious Diseases will be a go to
resource and guide for immunologists, clinical pathologists,
sociologists, epidemiologists, nutritionists, and all health care
professionals managing and treating patients with infectious
diseases.
