This chapter in the Oxford Handbook of Emergency Medicine discusses infectious diseases in the emergency department (ED). It starts by examining the general subjects of incubation periods, notifiable infectious diseases, and childhood diseases. It goes on to explore specific diseases, including meningitis, acute encephalitis, herpes simplex virus, herpes varicella-zoster, Zika virus, gastroenteritis/food poisoning, fish poisoning, infestations, tuberculosis, anthrax, streptococcal infections, staphylococcal infections, tetanus, gas gangrene, botulism, sexually transmitted infections, hepatitis, leptospirosis (Weil’s disease), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It discusses imported infectious diseases, such as malaria, typhoid and paratyphoid (enteric fever), dengue, poliomyelitis, rabies, viral haemorrhagic fevers, and severe acute respiratory syndrome, before looking at influenza pandemics, avian flu, and swine flu.

Abstract: Pocket Books, PSK, Mount Kemukus. Some of the main reasons Woman Being prostitution as well as economic factors. To PSK is a choice that has a lot of risk one is contracting sexually transmitted diseases/ HIV and they have a big share in the spread of the disease. Thus there is no reason the prostitutes must have behaviors that can prevent and make the handling of infectious diseases/ HIV as a result the risk of becoming prostitutes. But until now they have not done well with their proven PSK contract some sexually transmitted diseases.Given the rise of the behavior before and after using a pocket book in the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases/ HIV PSK Mount Kemukus Sragen. This study was a quasi-experimental, using a pre-post test approach using a questionnaire. Enelitian population are the prostitutes in Mount Kemukus Sragen with samplel number as many as 30 people. Furthermore, the analysis using quadratic Kai Test (Chi Square) with the aid of a computer. The results showed that the behavior of infectious disease prevention / HIVsebelum and after given pocket book while there is no difference to the behavior of the handling of infectious diseases/ HIV there are significant differences. Based on these results the researchers advised to maintain good handling practices already and do efforts to improve prevention behaviors.

Food Workers

There is no doubt that workers involved in the preparation and distribution of food and products must be completely healthy - they must not have infectious diseases (sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, trachoma, gastrointestinal, etc.) and must not be carriers of bacilli. Particularly great attention is paid to the typhoid-paratyphoid bacillus. But almost no attention is paid to helminthiasis among workers in the food processing unit.

Cytology Specimen

Cytological diagnosis of infectious diseases is as important as the cytodiagnosis of malignancies, because the detection of pathogens in cytological specimens is crucially valuable for prompt and appropriate patients’ treatment. When compared with histological diagnosis, cytology is strong at detecting microbes under Papanicolaou and Giemsa stains. Host response against the infectious agent can be estimated by the type of background inflammatory cells. Patterns of the inflammatory cellular responses against extracellular and intracellular pathogens should be recognized. Immunocytochemical and molecular approaches can be applied, even when we have only one cytology specimen in hand. The cell transfer technique is useful to create plural material from one glass slide for immunocytochemistry and other techniques. In case of transmissible disorders including sexually transmitted diseases, the prompt and appropriate diagnosis will avoid avoidable transmission of infectious agents among people, and eventually contribute to the safety of the human society.
