Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Congenital infections still represent a major burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite several advances made in the understanding of their aetiology, methods for their optimal management and means for the prevention of several groups of infections are still unknown. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 has been added to the list of known agents able to infect pregnant women and cross the placenta, causing vertical infections.
The aim of this Special Issue is to link expert and young researchers in the field to share updated perspectives on congenital infections. We are interested in studies discussing epidemiology, diagnostics, and clinical and management implications, as well as social issues related to the topic (including, but not limited to, socially fragile populations).
