This volume covers the adverse effects of antimicrobial drugs. The material has been collected from Meylers Side Effects of Drugs: The International Encyclopedia of Adverse Drug Reactions and Interactions (15th edition, 2006, in six volumes), which was itself based on previous editions of Meylers Side Effects of Drugs and Side Effects of Drugs Annuals, and from later Side Effects of Drugs Annuals (SEDA) 28, 29, and 30. The main contributors of this material were BJ Angus, JK Aronson, VV Banu Rekha, AGC Bauer, T Bicanic, J Blaser, J Buser, A Cerny, C Chiou, N Corti, P Cottagnaud, MD de Jong, S Dittmann, MNG Dukes, CJ Ellis, J Evison, K Fattinger, H Furrer, C Fux, AH Groll, F Hackenberger, R Hoign, A Imhof, DJ Jeffries, AMM Kaddu, O Koch, H Kolve, M Krause, S Krishna, R Laffer, P Leuenberger, P Magee, IR McNicholl, T Midtvedt, KA Neftel, JN Pande, T Planche, P Reiss, I Ribiero, C Ruef, A Schaffner, M Schlegel, P Schmid, M Schneemann, R Serafino, S Sheehy, OO Simooya, S Swaminathan, C Thurnheer, PJJ van Genderen, PL Vernazza, TJ Walsh, R Walter, CJM Whitty, C Woodrow, J-P Zellweger, AS Zinkernagel, and M Zoppi.

Leopold Meyler was a physician who was treated for tuberculosis after the end of the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands. According to Professor Wim Lammers, writing a tribute in Volume VIII (1975), Meyler got a fever from para-aminosalicylic acid, but elsewhere Graham Dukes has written, based on information from Meylers widow, that it was deafness from dihydrostreptomycin; perhaps it was both. Meyler discovered that there was no single text to which medical practitioners could look for information about unwanted effects of drug therapy; Louis Lewins text Die Nebenwirkungen der Arzneimittel (The Untoward Effects of Drugs) of 1881 had long been out of print (SEDA-27, xxv-xxix). Meyler therefore determined to make such information available and persuaded the Netherlands publishing firm of Van Gorcum to publish a book, in Dutch, entirely devoted to descriptions of the adverse effects that drugs could cause. He went on to agree with the Elsevier Publishing Company, as it was then called, to prepare and issue an English translation. The first edition of 192 pages (Schadelijke Nevenwerkingen van Geneesmiddelen) appeared in 1951 and the English version (Side Effects of Drugs) a year later.
The book was a great success, and a few years later Meyler started to publish what he called surveys of unwanted effects of drugs. Each survey covered a period of two to four years. They were labelled as volumes rather than editions, and after Volume IV had been published Meyler could no longer handle the task alone. For subsequent volumes he recruited collaborators, such as Andrew Herxheimer. In September 1973 Meyler died unexpectedly, and Elsevier invited Graham Dukes to take over the editing of Volume VIII.
Dukes persuaded Elsevier that the published literature was too large to be comfortably encompassed in a four-yearly cycle, and he suggested that the volumes should be produced annually instead. The four-yearly volume could then concentrate on providing a complementary critical encyclopaedic survey of the entire field. The first Side Effects of Drugs Annual was published in 1977. The first encyclopaedic edition of Meylers Side Effects of Drugs, which appeared in 1980, was labelled the ninth edition, and since then a new encyclopaedic edition has appeared every four years. The 15th edition was published in 2006, in both hard and electronic versions.
The monographs in this volume are arranged in six sections:
Antibacterial drugs
Antiviral drugs, including immunoglobulins and interferons
Antifungal drugs
Antiprotozoal and antihelminthic drugs
Vaccines
Disinfectants and antiseptics
In each monograph in the Meyler series the information is organized into sections as shown below (although not all the sections are covered in each monograph).
Drugs have usually been designated by their recommended or proposed International Non-proprietary Names (rINN or pINN); when these are not available, chemical names have been used. In some cases brand names have been used.
For indexing purposes, American spelling has generally been used, e.g. anemia, estrogen, rather than anaemia, oestrogen.
