Pulmonary Vascular Manifestations of Infectious Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Pulmonary vascular diseases are global conditions that are not yet fully understood. In developing nations, infectious diseases, such as schistosomiasis, viral infections, high altitude, hemoglobinopathies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and delayed cardiac management contribute to pulmonary hypertension. Other helminthic diseases, fungal infections, bacterial infections, and tuberculosis have also been implicated. Co-exposure and polyparasitism can be issues in developing countries, as both HIV and schistosomiasis can be found in the same patients. Studying pulmonary manifestations of infection can help understand the role of inflammation and underlying mechanisms to develop new therapies.

This Special Issue of Infectious Disease Reports aims at highlighting future perspectives on the transmission, prevention, and treatment of infection-associated pulmonary vascular disease, while also facilitating the timely publication and dissemination of cutting-edge research. Reviews, case studies, and original research articles are all encouraged. Submissions pertaining to acute- and long-COVID-associated pulmonary complications are welcome.
