Journal Title：Infection

The primary aim of Infection is to be a forum for the presentation and discussion of clinically relevant information on infectious diseases for readers and contributors from all over the world. Articles deal with the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases in the outpatient as well as in the inpatient setting. Public health issues of local, regional or international importance related to infectious diseases are featured, as well as progress and problems in hospital epidemiology.

The main contents of the journal include original articles describing results of research projects, brief reports on new observations that enhance the knowledge of clinicians, and state-of-the-art reviews on topics that are relevant to physicians diagnosing or treating infectious diseases. Case reports describing new infectious etiologies or clinical manifestations are also welcome. Finally, the correspondence section is open to readers who want to respond to articles published in Infection or to succinctly present information to the general readership. Because infectious diseases often present with characteristic clinical pictures that can be seen upon inspection and because imaging and microscopy are an essential part of infection diagnosis, the “Images” section of Infection was created to focus on high-quality pictures with short texts in abstract form.

Infection 的主要目的是成为一个论坛，供来自世界各地的读者和撰稿人展示和讨论有关传染病的临床相关信息。文章涉及门诊和住院环境中传染病的病因、发病机制、诊断和治疗。重点介绍与传染病相关的地方、区域或国际公共卫生问题，以及医院流行病学的进展和问题。

该期刊的主要内容包括描述研究项目结果的原创文章、关于增强临床医生知识的新观察的简短报告，以及与医生诊断或治疗传染病相关主题的最新评论疾病。也欢迎描述新的传染性病因或临床表现的病例报告。最后，通信部分向希望对 Infection 上发表的文章做出回应或向普通读者简明扼要地展示信息的读者开放。由于传染病通常呈现出可通过检查看到的特征性临床图片，并且由于成像和显微镜检查是感染诊断的重要组成部分，因此创建了感染的“图像”部分，以专注于具有摘要形式的短文本的高质量图片.
