APIC Text Online: Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers
The latest chapter update to APIC Text Online (ATO) is now posted and available to subscribers: Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers. Globalization has made the spread of viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF) out of endemic areas inevitable. The United States (U.S.) experienced the effects of VHF global spread in 2014 when Ebola was transmitted to U.S. healthcare providers from a source patient who had traveled from Africa to U.S. This update provides the latest information on diagnosis, prevention and management of VHFs including Ebola.
The features of ATO has successfully supported concurrent review and updates of important chapters based on infection prevention trends and issues. This is the third chapter update for 2016. Watch for additional revisions and updates in late 2016 and 2017!
