This practical handbook, authored by Dr. Brianna L. Norton, offers valuable insights into the intersection of the opioid crisis and infectious diseases, catering to a growing patient population. Infectious disease specialists are encountering an increasing number of individuals who have previously relied on opioids and are now transitioning to intravenous drug use. This unique patient population presents a multitude of challenges, including the emergence of new and rapidly spreading infections such as hepatitis C, endocarditis, HIV, and hepatitis B. The Opioid Epidemic and Infectious Diseases serves as a timely and comprehensive guide, providing a comprehensive overview of the problem, management guidelines, and much more. It delves into the evolving landscape of the opioid crisis in the United States, highlighting its intersection with infectious diseases, including epidemiology, opioid use disorder (OUD), and rural America. The handbook offers practical guidance on managing OUD and infectious co-morbidities, such as hepatitis C, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), endocarditis, HIV, and hepatitis B. It covers preventive measures, treatment options, and harm reduction strategies. Additionally, the book discusses the complex relationship between OUD, infectious diseases, and the criminal justice system, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities within this realm. By consolidating the most current information and guidance available, The Opioid Epidemic and Infectious Diseases serves as a convenient resource for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and individuals seeking to understand and address the multifaceted challenges posed by this intersection.
