Abstract:
Several articles published in 2005 offer new knowledge in infectious diseases treated by practitioners. This paper discusses viral (influenza) and bacterial (pneumococci and legionella) respiratory infections. Resistant staphylococci, different from healthcare-associated MRSA, are now found in community. The article assesses that epidemics of Norovirus infections are common during winter time. The screening for treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria is not recommended. The possible development of a successful vaccine to prevent herpes zoster is finally reminded.
