Using This Index

Try a disease name first.

If you don't know the disease name, try a word for the animal, germ, or situation (such as food or daycare) you're concerned about, because we have heavily cross-indexed many diseases using more than one term or keyword.

NCID offers detailed information on a large variety of infectious illnesses. However, because we aren't a medical encyclopedia, information is not comprehensive on every disease and we do not offer information on all diseases.

If you're looking for technical-level information:

Note: Technical journal articles are not included in this list. To find them, see the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) and Emerging Infectious Diseases journal (EID), use the infectious disease index, or use the search feature on the NCID home page.

 

Still Can't Find Your Topic?

We can offer information only on diseases we work with. If you cannot find your topic by disease name, disease agent, or carrier/vector, consult the National Library of Medicine site:
