Abstract
In addition to the viral infections discussed in the previous chapter, many other infections and illness are pertinent when covering diseases that highly and disproportionately affect people living in poverty. Of those many chronic diseases, this chapter will cover bacterial infections, intestinal helminth infections, tissue helminth infections, and chronic conditions. Within each subcategory, the authors discuss the most common infections of that type, in addition to some efforts currently in place to alleviate the disease burden of that infection. Finally, this chapter will discuss the basic overview of syndrome management of those diseases previously mentioned.
