Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pharmaceutical treatments for infectious diseases are often complicated to manage. In some cases, patients may suffer from adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and quit treatment, whereas in others patient’s may present therapeutic failure. These issues may be due to infectious agent resistance or host peculiarities. Pharmacogenomics is important to consider when host genetic variants may explain ADRs or therapeutic failure in drug treatments. In this Special Issue, we welcome manuscripts considering host genetic variants and infectious disease drug treatments.
