Authoritative, up-to-date guide to current protocols surrounding the identification and control of infectious diseases
Communicable Disease Control and Health Protection Handbook provides practical advice for specific situations and the important background knowledge that underlies communicable disease control activities. The book, designed to be concise and accessible, explains topics ranging from basic principles to recent changes and innovations in health protection practice. Major syndromes and individual infections are insightfully addressed, as well as an outline of the World Health Organization’s international health regulations and the organizational arrangements in place in all European Union nations. This Fifth Edition has been thoroughly revised to capture new developments in the area, especially those following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Communicable Disease Control and Health Protection Handbook includes information on:
- Meningitis and meningism, gastrointestinal infection, community acquired pneumonia, rash in pregnancy, rash and fever in children, and illness in returning travelers
- Amoebic dysentery, anthrax, botulism, chickenpox and shingles, chlamydia trachomatis, and cholera
- Managing incidents and outbreaks, community infection control, hospital infection control, antimicrobial stewardship, and risks to and from healthcare workers
- Prevention of blood-borne infections, migrant and refugee health, managing acute chemical and radiation incidents, and global health security
Communicable Disease Control and Health Protection Handbook is an essential reference for public health professionals working in communicable disease control and health protection, public health physicians, epidemiologists, public health nurses, infection control nurses, environmental health officers, microbiologists, policy makers, and general practitioners.
