Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The modern history of studying the role of infectious agents in the etiology of gastroenterological diseases looks very impressive. Since the Sydney classification of gastritis was published in 1990 and the Nobel Prize award was given to R. Warren and B. Marshall in 2005, there are no one doubts that Helicobacter pylori is the most important factor in causing gastric pathology. The 1994 Los Angeles classification of hepatitis was also a milestone that eventually led to revolutionary progress in the treatment of viral hepatitis C. The main causes of death in the population are cardiovascular and oncological diseases. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) estimates that approximately 18% of cancers around the world are associated with infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites. In recent times, studies on the impact of microbiome disorders in the gastrointestinal tract on diseases of various organs and systems have became more popular. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that the impact of infection on human health is still very significant and needs to be comprehensively studied.
In this regard, I invite you to publish original studies and review articles in the Diagnostics Special Issue, titled «Diagnosis and Management of Gastrointestinal Infections», that consider modern diagnostic methods, new pathogenetic concepts, treatment regimens, and ways of preventing gastroenterological diseases caused by various infectious agents.
