03/08/2004 Entry: "And now the health news"

"ATLANTA - Microbial killers such as drug-resistant malaria, tuberculosis, HIV and syphilis continue to ravage the world. Health experts say they know how to prevent and treat these diseases, but first they need to overcome a different kind of public health enemy: complacency.

"Public attention in the past two years has focused on new diseases, such as SARS, and new threats, such as bioterrorism, but scientists here at the International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases say the lack of attention to older diseases is allowing them to flourish.

"'HIV complacency' is partly responsible for rising rates of HIV in the southern USA and syphilis among men who have sex with men in large U.S. cities, researchers reported Tuesday."
Old diseases fall off public health radar, by Anita Manning, USA TODAY, March 2, 2004
