Meanings of tertiary prevention in English

Background: Secondary and tertiary prevention of chronic illness is a major challenge for the United States healthcare system.

An understanding of WNV-related sequelae and their prognostic factors can support physicians with early diagnosis and tertiary prevention efforts.

In view of the long natural history and complex pathogenesis of the disease, many strategies may be proposed for primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

Conclusions: To improve equity in access, effective primary, secondary and tertiary prevention strategies must be strengthened, as should access to appropriate levels of care.
