Throughout the 20th century infectious diseases remained the leading cause of premature mortality, but increasing availability of drugs and vaccines to combat and prevent infection led many to believe that the threat from infectious disease in industrialized countries was all but over. However recent events have proved that this is not the case. The Year in Infection 2004 is a concise guide to infectious diseases bringing together information about all aspects of infectious diseases into one accessible volume. Compiled by a leading team of experts, this volume will prove an invaluable resource for all those involved in the treatment of infectious diseases.
