Infectious Diseases and HIV Conference

Among the many tropical diseases, there are grave public health concerns in such countries as low- and middle-income ones.

The session will cover broad overview on the topics of tropical diseases with their epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic difficulties, and novel management. Tropical diseases are a group of infectious illnesses, the etiology of which depends on numerous agents: viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and helminthes. The most important among them are malaria, dengue fever, and schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis, and Changes disease.

Participants will learn specific epidemiological factors that explain prevalence profiles for these diseases in relation to environmental, socioeconomic, and behavioral determinants. Accurate diagnosis is the key to effective management of most tropical diseases, and traditional methods generally suffer from problems both in sensitivity and specificity.

This session addresses the progress made in diagnostic techniques such as rapid diagnostic tests, molecular methods, and serological assays in improving the ability to detect and identify infectious agents more rapidly. The treatment approach, which is extremely specific depending on the pathogen and the disease, includes antimalarial, antiviral, and antiphrastic drugs as well as basic care and public health measures.

Innovation approaches, which include the development of new vaccines and therapeutic agents, will also be discussed to show how scientists have tried to fight these tropical diseases. It would also focus on the role of global health initiatives and collaborations towards easing the burden of tropical diseases. Preventive strategies, in the treatment of patients as well as in surveillance systems, would be promoted with a collaborative effort by the governments, NGOs, and international organizations.

This would be achieved by encouraging a multidisciplinary debate between researchers, clinicians, and public health officials geared at better prevention strategies against tropical diseases with better health results for affected populations.

Let’s join hands in this informative session where top experts share their inside stories and experiences in moving ahead by leading the front in greater understanding and management of tropical diseases.
