Personalized Medicine and Infectious Disease Management

Trends in Microbiology, 2017
A recent study identified pathogen factors associated with an increased mortality risk in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, using predictive modelling and a combination of genotypic, phenotypic, and clinical data. This study conceptually validates the benefit of personalized medicine and highlights the potential use of whole genome sequencing in ...

Infectious Disease in Emergency Medicine

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1994
The principal difficulty with reviewing an innovative book is avoiding effusive accolades unlikely to be believed by the reader. But the fact is that Infectious Disease in Emergency Medicine , by Brillman and Quenzer, is unlike any other book available in infectious disease, emergency medicine, or primary care. It bridges the gap between the exigencies

The overprovision of infectious disease medicine

Economics Letters, 2003
Abstract This paper demonstrates a so far ignored negative externality imposed by the provision of life prolonging drugs to infected carriers of infectious diseases. Private optimal usage tends to imply socially inefficient over-provision of life enhancing infectious disease medication.

Internal Medicine: Infectious Diseases

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1982
New Diseases Recent developments in the field of infectious disease include the detection of several new microbial pathogens, most of which appear to be old agents that are newly recognized. In 1977, Legionella pneumophila was successfully cultivated on artificial media, characterized, and proposed for taxonomic rank as a new genus.

[Genomic medicine and infectious diseases].

Praxis, 2014
Relentless progress in our knowledge of the nature and functional consequences of human genetic variation allows for a better understanding of the protracted battle between pathogens and their human hosts. Multiple polymorphisms have been identified that impact our response to infections or to anti-infective drugs, and some of them are already used in ...

Use of the Infectious Disease Laboratory in Emergency Medicine

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1991
Until relatively recent advances in the identification of infectious agents, the emergency physician found only limited usefulness of the infectious disease laboratory. There are some tests that can provide information rapidly enough for the Emergency Department setting and new technologies that hold even greater promise for the future.
