Infectious diseases occur in all stages of human development, from intrauterine life. They are permanently present in our existence and seem trivial for a person with normal immunity. But they become formidable when they find adequate transmission routes and the receptive population. Increasingly elaborate diagnostic methods and the discovery of increasingly effective antimicrobial substances have now led to a decrease in the number of infections in developed countries. However, in many countries, mortality from infectious diseases is still in the first place. Moreover, the spread of antimicrobial resistance, genetic changes that increase the virulence of some microorganisms, the increase in the number of immunodeficient patients, bring more and more to the study of infectious diseases. More and more research is currently aimed at developing new vaccines or understanding the correlations between certain microorganisms and some neoplasms or autoimmune manifestations. Their success can change life expectancy in other medical fields. Infectious diseases thus become an important chapter of medical practice and laboratory research, probably for a long time to come.
This book is addressed to students and doctors from different specialties, who inevitably end up fighting infectious diseases and thus understand how complex the human body is and yet how easily it can be defeated by infinitely smaller and simpler microorganisms.
