Welcome to ISID

| Message from the President | ||||||
| Welcome to the International Society for Infectious
Diseases (ISID). Our 20,000 members are very much focused on the educational
needs of developing countries. In our quest to prevent and control
infections globally, we meet those needs with a biannual international
conference, the bimonthly International
Journal of Infectious Diseases, ISID
News (the quarterly newsletter), the provision of training
and research grants, the Guide
to Infection Control in the Hospital (now printed in six languages
and freely available to those from less-developed countries), ProMED-mail
Surveillance System, and access to experts worldwide. The ISID is committed to the concept that what happens in a remote village oceans away is important to world health. Since many infectious agents are equal opportunity pathogens, citizens of developed countries are often as vulnerable as poor natives in distant communities. Furthermore, timely international communication is essential for control. All of these concepts were clearly illustrated with the emergence and global spread of the SARS pandemic. In fact, ProMED-mail was the first active surveillance system to notify the world of the outbreak that would later be known as SARS and did so weeks before international attention became riveted on this problem. The international transmission of known and currently unknown pathogens is an ineluctable fact of nature. But members of ISID can make a difference with the clinical recognition, global reporting, laboratory discovery, worldwide education, policy development, prevention and control. Ours is a vibrant society committed to global health. You too can make a difference in your career by joining us. Become a member today. Richard P. Wenzel, M.D., M.Sc. | ||||||
