The cure of infectious diseases is one of the great challenges of today's society and, in order to achieve a reduction in the morbidity of affected persons, or to try to alleviate their symptoms, it is necessary for the pharmacist to have a solid knowledge of the subject, adapted to the latest developments. Regardless of their place of work, any pharmacist can be faced with the situation of having a patient with an infection originating in another country among their patients, since the evolution of tourism has caused citizens to arrive in all parts of the world and, on occasions, tourists do not take the necessary preventive measures. 

Among the most important infectious diseases worldwide are malaria and tuberculosis. The first is endemic in more than 100 countries and the objective is to reduce mortality by at least 20% over the mortality rate observed in 2005.
