Reduced activity is the most consistent factor found to be associated with poor outcome following the onset of infectious mononucleosis.
Individuals in the prodromal period (ill but before onset of rash) and infectious (onset of rash) individuals do not travel.
Post-mortem evidence of a diffuse toxic or infectious process is pleural effusions, soft tissue oedema and necrosis at the injection site.
Prevalence of infectious diseases and associated symptoms in wastewater treatment workers.
Deaths from accidents and from cancer are used as non-infectious controls.
Mathematical modelling is an essential part of understanding the epidemiology of infectious disease, and hence its control.
The major focus of this study is deaths from infectious diseases.
The total rate of potentially infectious contacts is given by the last column, relative to the rate, m, of clearing carriage.
