About the Author
The Infectious Diseases Society of America represents physicians, scientists, and other health care professionals who specialize in infectious diseases. IDSA s purpose is to improve the health of individuals, communities, and society by promoting excellence in patient care, education, research, public health, and prevention relating to infectious diseases. The roots of the American Thoracic Society reach back to 1905, when a small group of physicians decided the best way to improve care for tuberculosis patients was to share their experiences and discoveries. Today, the ATS has grown into an international society with 15,000 members.
