Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite substantial gains made in reducing childhood morbidity and mortality related to infectious diseases, they remain some of the largest contributors to disease burden in children on a global scale. Many of these infections can be prevented or appropriately managed through immunizations, antimicrobial treatment, adequate sanitation and hygiene conditions, and suitable maternal and child health infrastructures. However, major challenges persist in finding equitable access to such health measures, resulting in disparate progress across regions and countries.
This Special Issue will focus on the major contributors to the burden of infectious diseases in children, the unique challenges faced by pediatric populations, and avenues for equitable progress in reducing the global burden of childhood infections. Areas of specific interest include:
- HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria;
- Neglected tropical diseases;
- Emerging and re-emerging pathogens;
- Vaccine-preventable diseases;
- Antimicrobial resistance.
