The disability-adjusted life year (DALY) is a generic measure of
health effect that can be used in cost-effectiveness analysis as an
alternative to the quality-adjusted life year (QALY). Infectious
diseases are one of the major to cause significant losses of DALY
and QALY. Human infectious diseases are disorders that are
triggered by the micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses,
or parasites. The majority of such diseases are contagious and
create a public health menace. There are several reasons why
infectious diseases are deadly diseases, and one of the primary
reasons is the drug resistance developed over time. Drug
resistance-associated mutations are linked to increasing drug
efflux, modifications of the drugs, or their targets. Every year,
new drugs are being approved by FDA to treat infectious diseases.
Nonetheless, the infectious diseases will undoubtedly persist as
permanent and main threats to humanity for now and in the future. A
total of four books are covered under the series of Infectious drug
diseases. - Malarial drug delivery systems - Tubercular drug
delivery systems - Viral drug delivery systems - Infectious disease
drug delivery systems Infectious diseases are the world’s
greatest killers that present one of the most significant health
and security challenges. Humans have lived with emerging and
re-emerging pathogens since before the documented history of
civilization. The only determining fact today is - If the situation
is “worse” or “better” than in past. The answer is probably
“worse”, may be due significant increase in human population,
increased cross-continent mobility, imbalanced (stressed) life
style, irregular food habits leading to compromised innate immunity
and over or under practiced hygiene routine. When the incidence of
such a disease in people increases over 20 years or threatens to
increase, it is called an “emerging” disease, and a growing
number have made watch lists and headlines in nearly every country
-like highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza, severe acute
respiratory syndrome (SARS), Ebola virus, food- and waterborne
illnesses, and a range of antimicrobial-resistant bacterial
diseases TB. This book addresses current and new therapy
developments in treating such infectious diseases, updates on
finding new drugs, identification of innovative diagnostic methods,
understanding of disease research models and clinical trials
performances of new treatment modalities. Audiences from a broad
range of groups, from researchers, academicians, and public health
bodies to regulatory experts, can benefit from the compiled
information to learn more about patient needs and current research
advances in the field of infectious diseases and related research.
