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 of the pharmacy 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. Meanwhile, tuberculosis accounts for some 8 million new cases per year and more than 1 million deaths, with 20% of the cases associated with HIV/AIDS infection, with problems of resistance to treatment and lack of compliance with treatment, which led the WHO to consider tuberculosis a global health emergency in 1993. 

In addition, 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, with epidemic behavior. Therefore, it is essential for healthcare professionals to be aware of the new treatments for the different types of infections, even the most infrequent or unknown ones, as well as for occupational accidents that can lead to the transmission of bloodborne infections.
