AB The  physician  treating  the  acutely  ill  febrile  patient  must  be  able  to  recognize  infections  that  require  emergent  attention.  If  such  infections  are  not  adequately  evaluated  and  treated  at  initial  presentation,  the  opportunity  to  alter  an  adverse  outcome  may  be  lost.  In  this  chapter,  the  clinical  presentations  of  and  approach  to  patients  with  relatively  common  infectious  disease  emergencies  are  discussed.  These  infectious  processes  and  their  treatments  are  discussed  in  detail  in  other  chapters.
