		In medicine, infectious disease or communicable disease is disease caused by a biological agent (e.g.
		One way of proving that a given disease is "infectious", is to satisfy Koch's postulates (Robert Koch), which demand that the infectious agent is identified in patients and not in controls, and that patients who contract the agent also develop the disease.
		For infectious diseases it help to determine if a disease outbreak is sporadic (occasional occurrence), endemic (regular cases often occurring in a region), epidemic (an unusually high number of cases in a region), or pandemic (a global epidemic).

	eMedicine - Infectious Mononucleosis : Article by Burke A Cunha, MD
		Pharyngitis observed in EBV infectious mononucleosis is caused by the proliferation of EBV-infected B lymphocytes in the lymphatic tissue of the oropharynx.
		Pharyngitis is one of the cardinal manifestations of EBV infectious mononucleosis.
		CMV infectious mononucleosis is characterized by its prolonged course and prominent liver involvement.

	Bacteria, Viruses Can Cause Infectious Arthritis
		Depending on the location of the joint and the severity of the inflammation, treatment might also include draining the joint of pus, particularly in the case of the hip, which is more sensitive to damage from inflammation.
		Infectious arthritis caused by Lyme disease does not usually require joint drainage, and only oral antibiotics are necessary for treatment.
		Since many cases of infectious arthritis begin with a skin injury, good wound care is essential to avoid future problems.

	Wing-N-Wave Labradors Vaccines, Infectious Diseases and the Canine Immune System
		Once the infectious material is destroyed, the mature B lymphocyte, or plasma cell, remains in circulation as a "memory cell".
		Canine infectious diseases are caused by organisms which gain access to the body, multiply, and in the process of their life cycles cause severe and in some cases irreparable damage to the cells which make up organs and tissues of the body.
		Since the incubation period of most infectious diseases is of shorter duration than the amount of time required for a vaccine to produce a sufficient antibody level required for protective immunity, vaccinating a dog shortly before, during or after it is exposed to an infectious disease will not protect the dog from contracting the disease.

	Mononucleosis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Discovery of serologic diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis employing the nonspecific heterophile antibody was reported in 1932, but it was not until 1968 that Ebstein-Barr virus (EBV) was identified as the cause of infectious mononucleosis.
		Infectious mononucleosis is one of the most common infection seen during adolescence.
		The clinical diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis is supported by characteristic laboratory findings: modest peripheral leukocytosis with total white blood count up to 20,000/mm3, lymphocytes account for more than 50% (or greater than 4,500/mm3) of the leukocytes, and at least 10% (or greater than 1,000/mm3) are atypical lymphocytes also known as Downy cells.

	Addressing Infectious Disease Threats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Infectious diseases are human illnesses caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and other microbes.
		The yearly price tags of other infectious diseases are $30 billion for intestinal infections, $17 billion for influenza, $1 billion for salmonella, and $720 million for Hepatitis B. Altogether, the cost of treatment and lost productivity associated with illness from infectious agents tops $120 billion each year.
		Since many infectious diseases cannot be prevented by vaccines or treated effectively once established, the only line of defense is often education so communities and individuals can take preventive measures.
