Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious diseases of the respiratory tract are the most common disease entity in Pediatrics worldwide, with millions of children affected every year. Even though existing scientific knowledge in this field is well established and thorough, various factors such as the re-emergence of vaccine-preventable diseases, the refugee crisis, along with increasing antibiotic resistance, shortage of pediatric antibiotic trials, and several others, prompt the need for constant surveillance and immediate reaction.
This Special Issue aims to provide an open platform dedicated in presenting existing knowledge in the field of Pediatric Respiratory Infections (both community- and healthcare-associated infections), along with recording current trends in this field and shedding light to future prospects. Researchers from various scientific communities are welcome to present their latest research and discuss common themes and challenges.
