Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology: Diagnosis and Management

Dear Colleagues,

Infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology represent a major public health concern worldwide, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Regarding fetal health, maternal infections in obstetrics are associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, including prematurity, preterm birth, congenital malformations, and fetal death. Regarding women’s own health, infections are associated with various morbidities, including infertility, chronic pelvic pain, cancer, and mortality. Given the importance of this topic, for this Special Issue, we invite clinicians and researchers to submit reviews and original articles on various topics related to the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology, such as clinical, laboratory, and imaging diagnostic methods, management, treatment, and follow-up.
