As in most specialties, in the case of infectious pathology, the performance of the nurse in the Emergency Department is sometimes complex and, on many occasions, decisive in the course of the disease. Therefore, the importance of a quality specialization in this field is absolutely necessary in order to be up to date with the main developments in the field. 

In addition, it is necessary to take into account that, on numerous occasions, nurses must face pathologies that they had not seen before. This is especially true for imported infectious diseases which, by their very nature, do not develop naturally in all parts of the world.
