Infectious diseases are a critically important topic in medicine. Although several of the most dangerous infectious diseases have been controlled or eliminated by modern medicine, many others continue to plague mankind. Old pathogens reappear, sometimes in drug-resistant forms, and new diseases such as SARS have emerged. The World Wide Web provides a plethora of information on infectious diseases; unfortunately, not all of it is reliable. This article lists the best Web sites on infectious diseases to help health professionals and consumers find current, accurate information on the topic.
传染病是医学中极其重要的一个话题。尽管一些最危险的传染病已通过现代医学得到控制或消除，但许多其他传染病仍在困扰着人类。旧的病原体再度出现，有时是以耐药形式出现，而且像非典这样的新疾病也已出现。万维网上有大量关于传染病的信息；不幸的是，并非所有信息都是可靠的。本文列出了关于传染病的最佳网站，以帮助医疗专业人员和消费者找到有关该主题的最新、准确信息。
