description Despite the introduction of effective health measurements, vaccination and antimicrobial therapy infectious diseases continue to threaten human life. The reasons are numerous and diverse: antibiotic resistance, hospital-invading pathogens, new emerging infectious diseases, bioterrorism, biological warfare. This chapter is an introduction to several aspects of infectious diseases viewed from the host as well as from the pathogen (bacterium, virus and parasite). Furthermore the basic principles of INNATE and ADAPTIVE IMMUNE RESPONSES, especially in debilitated patients, are described. Detailed information is given on the pathogenesis of septic shock, AIDS and vaccination strategies.
