Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Viral Infections in Special Populations", delves into the nuanced landscape of viral afflictions within distinctive patient groups, spanning a myriad of demographics and medical conditions. This comprehensive compilation aims to unravel the intricate intersections between viral infections and vulnerable populations, including but not limited to individuals grappling with HIV, pregnancy or lactation, compromised immunity, advanced age, hematologic disorders, renal replacement therapy, liver cirrhosis, obesity, critical disease requiring ICU, pediatrics, adolescence, etc. Through a multidisciplinary lens, this Special Issue aspires to elucidate the unique challenges, pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic intricacies, therapeutic approaches, and preventive strategies pertinent to each specialized cohort. By amalgamating diverse research paradigms, clinical insights, and evidence-based practices, the primary goal is to furnish clinicians, researchers, and healthcare providers with a holistic understanding of viral infections within these distinct populations. Ultimately, this specialized compendium endeavors to catalyze advances in tailored interventions, optimize patient care, and foster pivotal breakthroughs in mitigating the impact of viral illnesses across diverse and vulnerable patient subsets.
