Fuzzy logic approach for infectious disease diagnosis: A methodical evaluation, literature and classification

“…An infectious disease can be defined as a situation that is created by the incursion of a human body by harmful agents which will in turn hurt the body and may spread to other people as well [1]. Infectious diseases are the major cause of illness and death for any given population [2,3]. Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), H1N1 influenza and Poliomyelitis are examples of an infectious disease [3,4].…”

“…Infectious diseases are the major cause of illness and death for any given population [2,3]. Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), H1N1 influenza and Poliomyelitis are examples of an infectious disease [3,4]. While globally the incidence of the infectious disease varies greatly between countries, in the 21st century, the main incidences are hand-foot-mouth disease, Hepatitis B, and Tuberculosis [3].…”

“…Aspects such as the increasing in antimicrobial resistance, increase in population and environmental changes are important in an infectious disease transmission [7]. Of 57 million mortality reported per year throughout the world, 14.9 million were related to infectious diseases; which represent more than 25% of the overall deaths [3].…”

“…Because of the big impact on global health by infectious diseases, determining the different features of these diseases are a valuable source for improving our knowledge and ability to predict how a disease will spread in a population [2,3]. The ability to comprehend and control an infectious disease can be obtained by the usage of mathematical models [44].…”

Incidence of hepatitis B virus infection in young Chinese blood donors born after mandatory implementation of neonatal hepatitis B vaccination nationwide

“…Every year, 300 000 people die from HBV‐related diseases in China, including 180 000 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) . However, on average 81.57/100 000 incident cases of hepatitis B and 7620 deaths occur yearly as recently reported for the past 10 years …”
