This standard reference book deals with the diagnosis, treatment, control, and prevention of the hemorrhagic fevers which have at-tracted attention throughout the world because of their severity, high death rate, and their danger to medical and nursing personnel. In Africa they include the recently recognized Lassa fever, Marburg and Ebola virus diseases as well as yellow fever, feared for cen-turies, and Rift Valley fever. In South America where yellow fever still occurs, Junin and Machupo viruses, related to Lassa virus, cause Argentinian and Bolivian hemorrhagic fevers, respectively. Dengue, Korean, Omsk, and Kyasanur hemorrhagic fevers are ex-amples of these conditions occurring in Asia. Crimean-Congo hem-orrhagic fever occurs widely in South Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa. Rickettsial infections are often complicated by hemorrhagic states. Each chapter is written by a well-known authority and is well illustrated.
