The increase of immigrant population in developed countries (mainly
in Europe and North America) together with an important increase of
international travel worldwide are the two most important causes
that have contributed to the introduction and diagnosis of
imported/tropical infectious diseases in these countries. These
factors have had an important impact in developed countries in both
social and economic aspects. Imported Infectious Diseases focuses
not only on describing the infections, but also in evaluating the
current epidemiology, the economic and social impact and the
possibility to apply immunization measures and vaccines. The main
purpose of this book is to give an overview of the current most
important and frequent imported infectious diseases in developed
countries. The first chapter informs about the medical services
that are being offered to the immigrants in the main developed
countries depending on the legal situation. Following chapters
describe the main surveillance systems for these kinds of diseases,
mainly in Europe and North America. Finally, remaining chapters
contain sections on epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features,
diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
