conclusions: since, there are few relevant studies in our country, recent studies on infectious diseases could be used for national planning and medical requirements’ preparation, it seems that periodical assessments of these diseases are mandatory. results: during the study, 4676 children, aged 1 month to 14 years were admitted and 29% (1357) of them were diagnosed with infectious disorders, 1...

Patterns of morbidity and mortality around the globe are determined by interactions between infectious diseases and systematic human socioeconomic processes. The most obvious of these patterns is that the greatest burdens of infectious diseases are found among the poor, who lack the basic resources for disease prevention and treatment. Yet, it is becoming increasingly clear that many infectious...

In the twentieth century, vaccination has been possibly the greatest revolution in health. Together with hygiene and antibiotics, vaccination led to the elimination of many childhood infectious diseases and contributed to the increase in disability-free life expectancy that in Western societies rose from 50 to 78-85 years (Crimmins, E. M. & Finch, C. E. 2006 Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 103, 498-5...

BACKGROUND The analysis of factors that influence prescribing decisions is increasingly important. Antibiotic use is often based on limited evidence and lack of information about clinical decision-making processes is an important obstacle to improving antibiotic utilization. AIMS To compare the attitudes of intensive care unit practitioners (ICUP) and infectious disease practitioners (IDP) to...

In pursuing novel therapeutic solutions, drug discovery and development rely on efficiently utilising existing knowledge resources. Repurposing know-how, a strategy that capitalises previously acquired information expertise, has emerged as powerful approach to accelerate processes, often at fraction of the costs de novo developments. For 80 years, collaborating within network partnerships, Swis...

Citation: Jurberg AD and Brindley PJ (2015) Gene function in schistosomes: recent advances toward a cure. Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) drive poverty and social inequality; indeed NTDs are manifestations of these problems (Bardosh, 2014). Poverty is a major detriment to human development. Measuring poverty by estimating poverty lines has led the World Bank to initially set the income value...

Epidermal parasitic skin diseases (EPSD) are a heterogeneous category of infectious diseases in which parasite-host interactions are confined to the upper layer of the skin. The six major EPSD are scabies, pediculosis (capitis, corporis and pubis), tungiasis and hookworm-related cutaneous larva migrans. We summarize the current knowledge on EPSD and show that these diseases are widespread, poly...
