Preface

Infectious disease is an important group of medical disorder. This is still a public health problem for all countries around the world. It is still the leading course of death. There are many epidemics of new emerging and remerging infectious diseases at present and this warrants the necessity to update our knowledge on infectious diseases. Fighting up with infectious diseases, collaboration between health care workers and non health care workers is required. The construction of the knowledge exchange via the E-book series can be useful. The series of E-book on this area can be the integrated source of knowledge among the experts and workers on several facets of infectious diseases. This is the first volume of the series containing the articles relating to the situation in Thailand, a country with a center of excellence for tropical medicine.
