Healthcare personnel must always continue specializing in order to improve their daily practice with patients"

The cure of infectious diseases is one of the great societal challenges of today and, to achieve a reduction in the morbidity of affected persons, or to try to alleviate their symptoms, it is necessary for the healthcare professional to have a solid grasp of the subject, adjusted to the latest developments. Regardless of their place of work, any physician may encounter having a patient with an infection originated in another country, since the evolution of tourism has caused citizens to reach all around the world and, on occasions, they do not take the necessary precautions.

Malaria and tuberculosis are among the most prevalent infectious diseases worldwide. The former is endemic in more than 100 countries and the objective is to reduce mortality by at least 20% over that observed in 2005. In turn, the latter accounts for some 8 million new cases per year and more than 1 million deaths, with 20% of cases associated with HIV/AIDS infection, with problems of resistance to treatment and lack of compliance with it, facts that forced the WHO to consider tuberculosis a world health emergency since 1993.

Furthermore, HIV/AIDS remains a pandemic in different parts of the world, with more than 1.8 million adults dying in 2016 and more than 600,000 children under the age of 15 infected in a single year. In developing countries, current treatment is out of reach for many people, and there are numerous cases of resistance to the antiretroviral drugs used.

All this is even more alarming if we take into account all the new infectious diseases that have emerged in the last 20 years, which display epidemic behavior. For this reason, it is essential for the health professional to be aware of the new treatments for the different types of infections, even for the most infrequent or unknown ones, as well as for occupational accidents that can lead to the transmission of blood-borne infections.
