EXTREMELY DANGEROUS INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Abstract

Highly dangerous infectious diseases (HCDs), highly dangerous infections (HCIs) are a conditional group of infectious diseases that pose a special epidemic threat. The measures and procedure for prevention of OXYK were confirmed in the International Medical-Santhary Regulations (IHRS) adopted on July 26, 1969 at the 22nd session of the WHO World Health Assembly. In 1970, the 23rd WHO Assembly excluded rash and recurrent sweating from the list of quarantined infections. With the amendments of 1981, only three diseases were included in the list: plague, cholera and anthrax.
