Human Herpesviruses
This comprehensive account of the human herpesviruses provides an encyclopedic overview of their basic virology and clinical manifestations. This group of viruses includes human simplex type 1 and 2, Epstein–Barr virus, Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, cytomegalovirus, HHV6A, 6B and 7, and varicella-zoster virus. The viral diseases and cancers they cause are significant and often recurrent. Their prevalence in the developed world accounts for a major burden of disease, and as a result there is a great deal of research into the pathophysiology of infection and immunobiology. Another important area covered within this volume concerns antiviral therapy and the development of vaccines. All these aspects are covered in depth, both scientifically and in terms of clinical guidelines for patient care. The text is illustrated generously throughout and is fully referenced to the latest research and developments.
Immunisation against infectious diseases
This is the third edition of this publication which contains the latest information on vaccines and vaccination procedures for all the vaccine preventable infectious diseases that may occur in the UK or in travellers going outside of the UK, particularly those immunisations that comprise the routine immunisation programme for all children from birth to adolescence. It is divided into two sections: the first section covers principles, practices and procedures, including issues of consent, contraindications, storage, distribution and disposal of vaccines, surveillance and monitoring, and the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme; the second section covers the range of different diseases and vaccines.
Shingles
Herpes zoster, better known as shingles, affects up to twenty percent of the population of the United States. Caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox, shingles affects adults who have had chicken pox and who suffer from a weakened immune system. The authors cite the latest research on Shingles and its prevention and provide tips on early recognition of shingles as well as descriptions of commonly used treatments for shingles.
Shingles Disease
This book covers all applicable aspects of shingles disease, which is a reactivation of the same virus that causes chicken pox: Varicella zoster virus (VZV). Beginning with the history of the disease, this ebook traces a path through the pertinent elements of shingles disease including a detailed look at the immune response, symptoms, treatments, diagnosis, prognosis and epidemiology. This is a look at the development of the human response to shingles, which has been varied and ultimately followed a trajectory that intersects with modern scientific thought on vaccination and its consequences. Special care is paid to home and alternative treatments as well as a comprehensive look at what is upcoming in the future for shingles research and treatment development.
Herpes Zoster and Postherpetic Neuralgia
This work brings together knowledge about the pain of herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia. The volume aims to expand knowledge not only of this specialized syndrome, but of every kind of chronic pain. It deals with all the basic scientific information on the acute and chronic stages of herpes zoster, as well as knowledge of all the possible treatments for this terrible affliction. A variety of treatment modalities are described, and more people are now obtaining relief than was thought possible a decade ago. research, leading to a more thorough understanding of the problems and to pain relief for those who continue to suffer.
Varicella-zoster Virus
This book offers a comprehensive review of basic and clinical research on Varicella-zoster Virus, the only human herpesvirus for which vaccines to prevent both primary and recurrent infection are approved.
Mandell, Douglas and Bennett's Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases
Discusses infectious diseases by major clinical syndrome, specific etiologic organism, and by host characteristics for patients who are compromised.
Adverse Effects of Vaccines
In 1900, for every 1,000 babies born in the United States, 100 would die before their first birthday, often due to infectious diseases. Today, vaccines exist for many viral and bacterial diseases. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, passed in 1986, was intended to bolster vaccine research and development through the federal coordination of vaccine initiatives and to provide relief to vaccine manufacturers facing financial burdens. The legislation also intended to address concerns about the safety of vaccines by instituting a compensation program, setting up a passive surveillance system for vaccine adverse events, and by providing information to consumers. A key component of the legis...
