Infectious Diseases and the Athlete
摘要
Participation in school sports is a wonderful way of pursuing physical and mental health while developing social skills. Although the benefits of these activities surely outweigh the negatives, it is important for those working with student-athletes to be aware of the potential infectious diseases affiliated with these activities. This chapter will present three cases of infections in student-athletes, and discuss evidence-based strategies for prevention, recognition, and management of infection associated with school sports.
