Diagnostic Imaging of Emerging Infectious Diseases

This resource provides a thorough examination of Emerging Infectious Diseases, emphasizing diagnostic imaging techniques and treatment strategies in Diagnostic Imaging of Emerging Infectious Diseases.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs), focusing on both newly emerging diseases and those that exhibit resistance to current treatments. Diagnostic Imaging of Emerging Infectious Diseases emphasizes the critical role of radiographic examinations in diagnosing EIDs, assessing treatment efficacy, and evaluating prognosis. It covers a range of significant diseases, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), human avian influenza (H5N1, H7N9), influenza A (H1N1), hand-foot-mouth disease, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), viral hepatitis, and pulmonary tuberculosis, all of which are associated with high incidence and mortality rates.

The book details various imaging techniques and their radiological characteristics, providing insights into the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of related complications. Given the often complex and not fully understood nature of EIDs, Diagnostic Imaging of Emerging Infectious Diseases includes extensive discussions on the etiology, epidemiology, and pathophysiology of these diseases. It also outlines clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and the processes involved in diagnosis and treatment.

Edited by professors Pu-Xuan Lu and Bo-Ping Zhou from Shenzhen Third People's Hospital, Guangdong Medical College, this book serves as a vital resource for healthcare professionals. It aims to enhance the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of EIDs, ultimately contributing to better healthcare outcomes in the face of these challenging diseases.
