Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue entitled "Personalized Medicine in Infectious Diseases" explores the evolving field of personalized medicine within the context of infectious diseases. It begins by providing a background and history of how personalized medicine has developed, particularly in addressing infectious diseases.
The aim and scope of this Special Issue encompass the application of personalized medicine in infectious diseases.
It highlights cutting-edge research that is transforming the treatment and management of infectious diseases through personalized approaches. We are particularly interested in research conducted using new methodological approaches and techniques as well as bioinformatics tools, including big data analysis.
We welcome original research or review articles pertaining to, but not limited to, the interplay of host and viral factors in the following topics:
- Genetic predisposition to infectious diseases;
- Post-acute infection syndromes (e.g., long-COVID symptoms and severity);
- Response, potential adverse events, and duration of protection of vaccines;
- Response to therapy and development of resistance.
