Infectious emergencies are a daily concern for emergency services and professionals. All areas of emergency medicine are concerned, from the call to the emergency dispatch center to the management of septic shock in the emergency department. Concepts are evolving, definitions are changing, and risk assessment and stratification, as well as prognostic evaluation, are at the heart of our work and thinking.


Urgences infectieuses offers a six-part overview of the main aspects of this theme. The first part is devoted to definitions and initial management, with the contribution of the surviving sepsis campain.

Diagnostic strategies, monitoring and surveillance of the infected patient are dealt with in the second part, followed by a chapter dedicated to emerging infectious diseases, biological risks and pre-hospital conditioning. The specific features of infections in the elderly are the subject of the next chapter, followed by a chapter dedicated to common infections in adults, and finally a chapter dealing with infections in children. Each chapter has been written by experts in the field, whose contributions have been enriched by exchanges with professionals in the field, in line with the methodology of the Société française de médecine d'urgence's interactive theme days.


This book is intended for emergency staff, but also for doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of these patients. It is a reference work, offering up-to-date updates on this vast subject.
