Infectious diseases are constantly in transition. New diseases develop, known dis-eases become widespread or reemerge, and occasionally a disease is eradicated.Infectious diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, and cholera are significant causes ofillness and death in many parts of the world. ... care personnel are on thefront lines, helping to protect their clients from infectious diseases and treatingthem when infections occur.
