Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Epidemiology and Public Health, a Text and Reference Book for Physicians, Medical Students and Health Workers, Vol. 2 of 3: Nutritional Disorders, Alimentary Infections, Percutaneous Infections
The arrangement adopted in Volume I has been continued in this. An attempt has been made to group the diseases according to the avenues through which the virus reaches and infects the body. This attempt has been only partially successful. There are some epidemic diseases for which there is no specific virus-and there are others in which the avenues of infection may be multiple. A rough classification of the diseases discussed in this volume appears as follows: (1) Nutritional disorders. (2) Alimentary infections. (3) Percutaneous infections.
