Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease caused by a group of enteroviruses, including coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) and enterovirus 71 (EV71). Over the last decade, many outbreaks of HFMD have been reported in countries of the Western Pacific Region. HFMD caused by EV71 is of particular concern because of the increased number of deaths associated with infection. Until now, there has been little guidance on HFMD caused by EV71. This publication provides practical support for the treatment, prevention and control of HFMD based on the most recent scientific literature and the current understanding and experiences of international experts. It is intended as a resource for both clinicians working with HFMD cases on a regular basis and for public health personnel who are responsible for preventing and responding to outbreaks of HFMD.

Parents have come to depend on vaccines to protect their children from a variety of diseases. Some evidence suggests, however, that vaccination against pertussis (whooping cough) and rubella (German measles) is, in a small number of cases, associated with increased risk of serious illness. This book examines the controversy over the evidence and offers a comprehensively documented assessment of the risk of illness following immunization with vaccines against pertussis and rubella. Based on extensive review of the evidence from epidemiologic studies, case histories, studies in animals, and other sources of information, the book examines: The relation of pertussis vaccines to a number of serious adverse events, including encephalopathy and other central nervous system disorders, sudden infant death syndrome, autism, Guillain-Barre syndrome, learning disabilities, and Reye syndrome. The relation of rubella vaccines to arthritis, various neuropathies, and thrombocytopenic purpura. The volume, which includes a description of the committee's methods for evaluating evidence and directions for future research, will be important reading for public health officials, pediatricians, researchers, and concerned parents.

Acute viral encephalitis is a rare but devastating complication of common virus infections. Primary viral encephalitis is due to brain invasion by the virus and subsequent replication in the central nervous system, whereas postinfectious encephalitis is thought to be immune-mediated. The most frequent causes of primary encephalitis worldwide are rabies and the arboviruses, which comprise different families of viruses distributed according to geography and seasonality. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is the commonest cause of encephalitis in Western countries. Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) occurs at all ages during infancy and childhood with a peak incidence during the first year of life. Its pathogenesis remains unsolved, although defects in the innate immune response have been observed in a few cases. Direct and sensitive virological diagnosis is available, but may be difficult at early stages of the disease. Specific antiviral therapy has proven to improve the prognosis of HSE dramatically, if administered early. Despite use of antiviral drugs, sequelae remain high and relapses may occur, presumably secondary to HSV latency in the brain. In addition, deleterious host inflammatory responses might account for failure of therapy. Immunomodulatory treatments have been proposed but require a better understanding of the respective roles of the multiple pathways of the immune response.

This open access book offers an essential overview of brain, head and neck, and spine imaging. Over the last few years, there have been considerable advances in this area, driven by both clinical and technological developments. Written by leading international experts and teachers, the chapters are disease-oriented and cover all relevant imaging modalities, with a focus on magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. The book also includes a synopsis of pediatric imaging. IDKD books are rewritten (not merely updated) every four years, which means they offer a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in imaging. The book is clearly structured and features learning objectives, abstracts, subheadings, tables and take-home points, supported by design elements to help readers navigate the text. It will particularly appeal to general radiologists, radiology residents, and interventional radiologists who want to update their diagnostic expertise, as well as clinicians from other specialties who are interested in imaging for their patient care.
