Infectious Diseases of the United Kingdom is one in a series of GIDEON ebooks which explore all individual infectious diseases, drugs, vaccines, outbreaks, surveys and pathogens in every country of the world. Data are based on the GIDEON web application (www.gideononline.com) which relies on standard text books, peer-review journals, Health Ministry reports and ProMED, supplemented by an ongoing search of the medical literature.
Chapters are arranged alphabetically, by disease name. Each chapter is divided into three sections:
1. Descriptive epidemiology
2. Status of the disease in the United Kingdom
3. References
A chapter outlining the routine vaccination schedule of the United Kingdom follows the diseases chapters.
There are 364 generic infectious diseases in the world today. 208 of these are endemic, or potentially endemic, to the United Kingdom. A number of other diseases are not relevant to the United Kingdom and have not been included in this book.
The United Kingdom disease notes include separate sections on Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Scotland, Anguilla, the Cayman Islands, Montserrat, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Northern Ireland.
In addition to endemic diseases, all published data regarding imported diseases and infection among expatriates from the United Kingdom are included.
