Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infections of the skin and mucous membranes are widespread in clinical practice, as primary infections from viruses and bacteria as well as the reactivation of latent viruses are responsible for multiple clinical pictures in Dermatology and Venereology. With regard to the viral etiology, the same virus may result in distinct clinical manifestations and a single disease may be caused by different viruses.
Changes in the epidemiology, virulence and contagiousness of several pathogens have emerged in recent years. Both new pathogens (such as Sars-CoV-2) and old pathogens (monkeypox virus) may result in new cutaneous manifestations involving the skin and mucous membranes.
In this Special Issue, we would like to collect novel insights into the field of skin and mucosal infections that provide a clinical, epidemiological, and therapeutical perspective. Preventive approaches to skin/mucosal infections through vaccinations may also be discussed.
