在2004年12月至2005年10月不到一年的时间里，世界不同地区遭受了几次极端严重的自然灾害，造成了空前的破坏以及生命和财产损失。在每一种情况下，都存在着由细菌、病毒、霉菌和霉菌引起的传染病的可能性，并表明这些灾害是一个公共卫生问题，而许多因素可能协同作用，增加传染病引起的发病率和死亡率的风险，这加剧了公共卫生问题。本文综述了在自然灾害发生时构成威胁的各种传染病的原因、症状和治疗方法。
In a time span of less than one year, December 2004 to October 2005, several natural disasters of extreme proportions struck different areas of the world, causing unparalleled destruction and loss of lives and property. In each of these instances, the potential existed for acquisition of infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew and demonstrated that such disasters represent a public health concern, which is exacerbated by the fact that many factors may work synergistically to increase the risk of morbidity and mortality caused by communicable diseases. This article reviews causes, symptoms, and treatments of various infectious diseases that pose a threat in the event of a natural disaster.
