Infectious Diseases of the Democratic Republic of Congo

Infectious Diseases of the Democratic Republic of Congo 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 Democratic Republic of Congo
3. References

A chapter outlining the routine vaccination schedule of the Democratic Republic of Congo follows the diseases chapters.

There are 368 generic infectious diseases in the world today. 242 of these are endemic, or potentially endemic, to the Democratic Republic of Congo. A number of other diseases are not relevant to the Democratic Republic of Congo and have not been included in this book.

In addition to endemic diseases, all published data regarding imported diseases and infection among expatriates from the Democratic Republic of Congo are included.
