Inhaltsangabe

Over the past 25 years, the world’s population has witnessed an explosion in kno- edge about infectious diseases. The global population is coming to the realization that diseases long recognized to cause substantial suffering, such as malaria, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, and hepatitis, can be diagnosed and treated, and that transmission can be prevented using tools that are available, and which may be becoming increasingly affordable. The global population is recognizing that few infections are local: the travel of humans, other animals, insects, and food transport pathogens around the world, often with astonishing rapidity. New pathogens are appearing, either newly recognized or newly developing, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), avian inf- enza, metapneumovirus, or hepatitis C, which are causing human morbidity and m- tality. Finally, there is growing fear that dangerous pathogens may be intentionally introduced into human populations by deranged individuals or terrorist organizations. The potential to use drugs or biologic agents to treat and prevent infectious diseases has increased dramatically over the past quarter century as we have learned more about the biology of many of these agents, and as we have developed techniques to discover new agents by high throughput screening programs and by sophisticated drug design and synthesis.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Now extensively revised and significantly expanded, this second edition of the highly praised Drug Interactions in Infectious Diseases includes all the major recent advances in the understanding of drug interactions, with particular emphasis on the many new drugs approved since the first edition. The treatment of drug interaction mechanisms has increased to fill two chapters, allowing a more detailed description of absorption, metabolism, and excretion, as well as describing the growing knowledge of transport proteins. Recent reports of drug interactions, new case studies, and a new chapter outlining the regulatory perspective on interaction studies during drug development have been added. The chapter on study design and data analysis remains one of the best of its kind. The information contained in the book ranges from detailed tables of specific drug-drug interactions to in-depth discussions of interaction mechanisms and research issues.
Comprehensive and up-to-date, DrugInteractions in Infectious Diseases, Second Edition concisely and authoritatively summarizes-for rapid access by all health care practitioners-the important drug interactions that occur during the treatment of infectious diseases, the mechanisms of their action, and the best strategies for their management in patient care.
