Special Issue on Pediatric Infectious Diseases

Pediatric infectious diseases is a medical and research field focused on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of infections in infants, children, and adolescents. It studies viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, their epidemiology, pathophysiology, and impact on child health. The field also emphasizes immunization, antimicrobial therapies, outbreak control, and the development of strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality, aiming to improve short- and long-term health outcomes in pediatric populations.
