Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious diseases continue to represent a major global health challenge, particularly in the context of the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance and the emergence of novel pathogens. The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, coupled with the evolving complexity of managing invasive fungal and viral infections, underscores the urgent need for comprehensive and up-to-date syntheses of current evidence.
This Special Issue, “Review on Infectious Diseases”, aims to bring together high-quality review articles that explore the latest advances in our understanding of infectious disease pathophysiology, diagnostics, and treatment. Special emphasis will be placed on antibiotic stewardship, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), infections caused by resistant organisms, and the clinical management of emerging diseases such as COVID-19. In addition, we invite contributions addressing innovative diagnostic technologies, infection-control strategies, and the global burden of healthcare-associated infections.
Given the rapidly evolving nature of this field, we will consider for publication only review articles, including systematic reviews, scoping reviews, narrative reviews, and meta-analyses, that have the potential to inform clinical practice and guide future research directions. This collection intends to serve as a valuable reference for clinicians, microbiologists, pharmacists, and researchers alike.
Prof. Dr. Carlo Tascini
