Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce a forthcoming Special Issue that explores infection, inflammation, and rheumatology and investigates the intricate connections between the immune system, infections, and vaccinations that lead to inflammation and associated rheumatic conditions. This comprehensive edition aims to shed light on the latest advancements, challenges, and innovative approaches within this multifaceted landscape.

Infections and autoimmune responses, particularly in the context of COVID-19 and vaccinations, have underscored the complexities in diagnosis, treatment, and management. This Special Issue will delve into a range of autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and vasculitides, while emphasizing their underlying mechanisms, genetic predispositions, and possible links to infectious agents like COVID-19.

The Special Issue will showcase cutting-edge research methodologies, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic interventions aimed at enhancing patient outcomes. Contributions exploring novel biomarkers, personalized medicine approaches (including vaccination strategies), and emerging treatments (such as biologics and immunotherapies) will be pivotal in this discourse.

We invite researchers, clinicians, and experts in the field to contribute their insights, research findings, and perspectives to this Special Issue and unravel the complexities of autoimmune diseases in rheumatology, striving toward enhanced understanding, improved therapies, and better outcomes for affected individuals.

Dr. Arvind Nune
Guest Editor
