Access to critical care is rapidly growing in areas of the world where it was previously nonexistent and where infectious diseases often comprise the largest disease burden. Additionally, with crowding, mass migrations, and air travel, infectious diseases previously geographically confined are quickly spread across the planet, often in shorter time frames than disease incubation periods. Hence, critical care practitioners must be familiar with infectious diseases previously confined to the developing world. This article reviews selected tropical diseases that are seen in diverse locales and often require critical care services.
在世界上以前不存在重症监护的地区，传染病通常构成最大的疾病负担，重症监护的可及性正在迅速增长。此外，由于拥挤、大规模迁移和航空旅行，以前在地理上受到限制的传染病正在迅速在全球范围内传播，其传播速度往往比疾病潜伏期还快。因此，重症监护医生必须熟悉以前局限于发展中国家的传染病。本文回顾了在不同地区常见且经常需要重症监护服务的几种热带病。
