[back to top] Foreword It is a pleasure and honor to prepare a foreword for my late friend and colleague, Dr. Alain Couturier, for the new edition of his text on occupational and environmental infectious diseases. Alain and I became acquainted nearly 25 years ago when he applied for a residency position in occupational medicine at Boston University Medical Center. Alain performed extremely well in the residency and then went on to his career in occupational medicine. I will always cherish the conversations we had and the enthusiasm and compassion with which he conducted his professional responsibilities. His sense of humor, warmth, and dedication are personal qualities that made our work a pleasure. I am pleased that he developed an interest in writing and publishing and am very proud of his accomplishments, especially the extraordinary effort involved in editing a major textbook. Fortunately, Dr. Will Wright, a former classmate of mine at the Harvard School of Public Health, has stepped in admirably for Alain and has done an excellent job in editing the text and writing a few new chapters as well.Having served as an editor of a number of texts, I realize the amount of work and dedication necessary to develop a successful text such as this one. Dr. Wright should be commended for the accomplishment. This text should be of great value for infectious disease specialists and occupational physicians with responsibilities for preventing infectious diseases in occupational settings such as medical centers and research operations and in providing advice to travelers to regions of the world in which they may be exposed to infectious agents not customary in the western world. This text offers summaries of infectious diseases—from common types, such as upper respiratory infections, to the esoteric, such as occupational plague—that are not readily available in other sources. Along with fundamentals on epidemiology and immunizations, the text addresses legal challenges, medical surveillance, and influenza, among other topics.What I find particularly valuable in this text is the extensive discussion of infectious diseases associated with business travel. This information is both presented in practical terms and is current. This text will serve as a valuable resource to libraries and physicians who are called upon to evaluate treat and prevent infectious diseases in the occupational setting. Robert J.

[back to top] Preface to Second Edition It is an honor and pleasure for me to present this book to you. I came to work on it in gradual, unexpected steps, initially thanks to the editor of the first edition, Dr. Alain Couturier, a friend and colleague. He first asked me to write a chapter, taking a different perspective than was taken in the first edition. Having received that chapter from me and having not found authors for some other chapters, he asked me to do several more.We discussed and carried out some plans for chapter revisions, including expansion of the book's coverage of travel topics. I had a particular interest in this, having traveled to 44 countries on seven continents and overseen workers' health in remote jungle areas worldwide.Unfortunately, during this period,Alain became ill, so he asked me to be a coeditor and help to find additional authors to complete the book. After I took on this activity in early 2007, Alain died suddenly, and I became a coeditor without an editor. The publisher asked me to carry on as editor and offered to support the project to completion; Alain's family also encouraged me. In picking up the pieces, given the time that had passed during Alain's illness, I asked authors who had submitted chapters in 2005–2006 to provide further updates. They graciously agreed to do this. Since the first edition was published in 2000, besides Alain's untimely death, to my knowledge, three other first edition contributors have died: Dr. Jean S. Felton, Dr. Geoffrey A. Kelafant, and Dr. Wendell H. Perry. In Alain's draft of a preface, he expressed his sorrow for the loss of these fine colleagues and appreciation for their contributions to the first edition and to our profession. I second Alain's sentiments and extend them to Alain himself, who conceived the first edition and oversaw its creation. In its second edition, this book has been renamed Couturier's Occupational and Environmental Infectious Diseases in honor of Dr. Couturier; I have arranged for a proportion of the second edition royalties to go to his school-age children. The second edition has been entirely updated and has many revisions and additions. There is a greater emphasis on information and resources that the primary care physician, generalist, or occupational health practitioner can use for recognition and management of infectious diseases and their risks and for coworker and employee education. Hence there is an expanded chapter on employer education, a completely new chapter on general travel medicine and prevention of illness, expanded coverage of employee education issues in many chapters, and listings of more Web resources in the chapters and appendices. The book is designed to support the physician reader's own continuing medical education, to help plan education programs and briefings, and to assist with occupational health programs' clinical, preventive, and administrative mandates. Some readers may use this book as a reference source to look up specific items about diseases. I encourage spending time examining the chapters and resources in depth. The chapters on fundamentals, particularly laboratory methods (Chapter 2), epidemiology (Chapter 3), vaccines (Chapter 5), and legal issues (Chapter 6), are intended to be illuminating and practical. The epidemiology chapter includes important definitions of terms, information on transmission of infectious diseases, explanations of approaches to infectious disease epidemiology and prevention, and background on general principles of infectious diseases. Occupational physicians who are responsible for training employees regarding infectious disease issues will find that these and other chapters have a wealth of well-thought-out, relevant information and useful tools for carrying out their job. The epidemiology chapter is an excellent adjunct to other standard materials used to prepare for the American Board of Preventive Medicine examinations in public health and occupational medicine. The chapters in the other sections also have been fully updated and enhanced with an eye toward providing well-organized, practical information and education materials rather than emphasizing theory. The travel-related chapters now have their own section in the book, and information on how to stay healthy while traveling is consolidated into an entirely new chapter. Chapter 27 includes new sections related to migrant, immigrant, and refugee health issues, which are becoming increasingly important for travel medicine and occupational health professionals. The sections on diseases and unique problems and settings have an expanded emphasis on globally emerging infections and international health issues, including bioterrorism and disaster preparedness, and resources for sheltering in place, quarantine issues, continuation of operations plans, and business recovery. I've found many of these chapters to be very insightful, and some are downright scary.When one describes what pathogenic microorganisms can do to people, the topics related to pandemics and plagues (e.g., influenza, plague, leprosy, and smallpox) and to topics such as anthrax, protozoans, helminths, rabies, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus with P-VL, hemorrhagic fevers (e.g., Marburg and Ebola), extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, and others are not for the squeamish. One comes away from immersion in these topics with a deep admiration and even awe for the simplicity, power, and elegance of these opportunistic microorganisms and their abilities to adapt in order to remain successful opportunists. The emphasis also has been expanded to include more recognition that many infectious diseases are international or global problems and that population pressures; migrations of people, vectors, and germs; human encroachment into previously less settled areas; and climate changes are powerful forces related to infection risks. These perspectives and relevant resources are noted in many chapters, including the travel chapters and those on influenza, globally emerging infections, biological warfare and terrorism, specific disease chapters, and the expanded appendices. The approach is meant to be consistent with the World Health Organization's statement, quoted in several places in this book: "The phenomenon of globalization has altered the traditional distinction between national and international health. Very few urgent public health risks stay solely within national boundaries." This textbook has been written with this perspective in mind and to remind medical practitioners and the patients, employees, and others we serve of the interrelatedness of humans, our shared interests, and our shared fate.
