Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and conditions, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bleeding and changes in bowel habits, are prevalent manifestations in patients with infectious diseases and those undergoing various pharmacological treatments. These symptoms significantly impact patient quality of life and present frequent challenges in primary care, internal medicine, and gastroenterology settings. Despite their common occurrence, the management of GI symptoms related to infections and medications remains underexplored in the medical literature. This Special Issue aims to address this gap, seeking original research and comprehensive reviews that explore the pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic strategies for GI symptoms associated with infectious agents and pharmacological interventions. We encourage submissions that investigate the prevalence and burden of these symptoms in various populations, assess the efficacy of current management protocols, and identify areas requiring further inquiry. By deepening the understanding of these multifaceted interactions, this issue aspires to inform clinical practices and advance patient care strategies to effective manage GI symptoms linked to infections and medications.
