Abstract

This volume of Annual Review of Medicine as in the previous years contains enlightening updates on several medical problems of current interest. There are 33 reviews in this expertly composed compendium. Viral diseases are the theme of five reviews. Lo and colleagues provide the public health concepts obtained from the epidemiology of the West Africa epidemic of Ebola virus disease which affected a total of nearly 30,000 people. The epidemic was an important pointer to global relationships and common susceptibility to infectious diseases. Nearly 50% of Ebola survivors across three countries have persistent symptoms which provide a means to further understand reasons for viral persistence in these survivors. Ebola’s natural reservoir is not yet identified. Inadequate surveillance and response capacity have been identified as salient factors in the spread of the epidemic.
