Gone Viral: The Germs That Share Our Lives
Author(s): Frank Bowden
Frank Bowden, a specialist in the field of infectious disease and sexual health, looks at one bug at a time, weaving around them the stories of his patients and their families, the doctors and the difficulties they face and the horrors and successes of hospitals and health care programs. Through Bowden's own work in the field, we encounter Swine Flu, Golden Staph, SARS, Hepatitis, and HIV, and learn crucial lessons about public health and the human experience of disease.

Under the infl uence
A beautiful anachronism
Life during wartime
The pricking of my thumb
Malcolm in the beginning
The Semmelweis effect
In the blood
Severe and acute? That has to be bad!
The pox under our noses
Cultures that stink
Like a blowtorch to the groin
So common it can’t be a disease
Let’s not talk about sex
The Yellow Pages
Sleepers, wake
Glossary
Acknowledgments
Index to pathogens and diseases
