Infections
Prevention and Therapies
’Health isn’t everything but everything is nothing without health.‘ – This clever sentence comes from the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. Since the introduction of antibiotics we are hardly aware of infectious diseases as a threat to our health anymore. However, how important successful prevention and therapy are is shown in the fact that in Germany alone about 50,000 deaths are caused by infectious diseases every year. Infections are the second most common cause of death worldwide. According to an estimate of the World Health Organisation more than 30% of deaths worldwide are related to infectious diseases. Most of them affect people in poorer countries and over 15 million people die of infections worldwide.
