Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastroenteritis is the inflammation of any section of the gastrointestinal tract. This inflammation could be persistent, acute, or chronic, with various etiologies including genetics, infection, hypersensitivity, drugs, chemicals, and immunotherapy. The risk of an individual developing gastroenteritis is determined by both epidemiologic factors influencing exposure to causative organisms and underlying host factors affecting one’s susceptibility to disease. The role of the gut microbiome in dysbiosis-related diseases including acute infection and chronic inflammation is a subject that has accumulated comprehensive research findings. Persistent mucosal inflammation and an alteration to intestinal motility contribute to the development of related diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome in genetically susceptible individuals.
To put the current evidence into context and identify gaps and research priorities in the areas of disease acquisition, burden of disease, clinical characterization, and the prevention and management of postinfectious gastrointestinal disorders, we require a multidisciplinary approach encompassing the areas of infectious disease, gastroenterology, epidemiology, and public health.
This Special Issue will extensively cover key areas in epidemiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, current screening and diagnostic methods, and current and future treatment approaches in gastroenteritis and related diseases. We welcome author submissions of original articles, as well as reviews that could support future clinical progress related to this field.
Prof. Dr. Cristina Marginean
