• Global Health: Expanded content on tropical medicine, parasitic infections, and diseases of immunocompromised hosts (transplant recipients, HIV).

• Medical students
• Residents
• Infectious disease specialists
• General practitioners and healthcare providers seeking detailed information on the management of infectious diseases.
