Abstract：
:In recent years, multiple global forces have contributed to the emergence and widespread distribution of previously unknown disease entities. This article discusses Ebola virus, West Nile virus, and Hantavirus as representative emerging infectious diseases. Smallpox is discussed along with concerns about the safety of the smallpox vaccine, given the uncertain risk of bioterrorism and smallpox exposure. ED physicians must become familiar with the presentation, management, and public health impact of all of these entities, as well as understand the potential impact of other emerging infectious diseases.
