Transplant Infectious Disease

Transplant Infectious Disease has been established as a forum for presenting the most current information on the prevention and treatment of infection complicating organ and bone marrow transplantation. The point of view of the journal is that infection and allograft rejection (or graft-versus-host disease) are closely intertwined, and that advances in one area will have immediate consequences on the other. The interaction of the transplant recipient with potential microbial invaders, the impact of immunosuppressive strategies on this interaction, and the effects of cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines liberated during the course of infections, rejection, or graft-versus-host disease are central to the interests and mission of this journal.Transplant Infectious Disease is aimed at disseminating the latest information relevant to the infectious disease complications of transplantation to clinicians and scientists involved in bone marrow, kidney, liver, heart, lung, intestinal, and pancreatic transplantation. The infectious disease consequences and concerns regarding innovative transplant strategies, from novel immunosuppressive agents to xenotransplantation, are very much a concern of this journal. In addition, this journal feels a particular responsibility to inform primary care practitioners in the community, who increasingly are sharing the responsibility for the care of these patients, of the special considerations regarding the prevention and treatment of infection in transplant recipients. As exemplified by the international editorial board, articles are sought throughout the world that address both general issues and those of a more restricted geographic import.Transplant Infectious Disease includes state-of-the-art review articles on important subjects, the results of clinical investigation, interesting case reports, and two recurring features: a clinical-pathologic conference and reviews of the basic science foundation of transplant infectious disease. Subjects covered include specific infections, the epidemiology of important infections, the interaction among immunosuppression and infection exposure, the diagnosis of specific infection, pathogenesis, and clinical management. Both basic science and clinical articles are featured. Where controversy exists, both sides of an issue are presented. This journal is meant to serve the needs of all clinicians and scientists involved in the study and care of organ and bone marrow transplant recipients.

Transplant Infectious Disease期刊中文简介

移植感染性疾病已被建立为一个论坛，介绍最新的信息，预防和治疗感染复杂的器官和骨髓移植。期刊的观点是，感染和同种异体移植排斥（或移植物抗宿主病）紧密交织在一起，而且一个领域的进展将对另一个领域产生直接影响。移植受体与潜在微生物侵略者的相互作用，免疫抑制策略对这种相互作用的影响，以及在感染、排斥或移植物抗宿主病过程中释放的细胞因子、生长因子和趋化因子的影响，是本杂志的兴趣和任务的中心。移植传染病旨在向骨髓、肾脏、肝脏、心脏、肺、肠道和胰腺移植的临床医生和科学家传播与移植传染病并发症有关的最新信息。从新型免疫抑制剂到异种移植，传染病的后果和对创新移植策略的关注是本杂志非常关注的问题。此外，本杂志还特别有责任告知社区的初级保健医师，他们越来越多地分担照顾这些患者的责任，以及关于预防和治疗移植受者感染的特殊考虑。以国际编辑委员会为例，全世界都在寻找既涉及一般问题又涉及更受限制的地理进口问题的文章。移植性传染病包括有关重要学科的最新综述文章、临床调查结果、有趣的病例报告和两个复发特征：临床病理会议和移植感染性疾病的基础科学评论。涉及的主题包括特定感染、重要感染的流行病学、免疫抑制和感染暴露之间的相互作用、特定感染的诊断、发病机制和临床管理。基础科学和临床文章都有特色。如果存在争议，问题的双方都会被提出。本杂志旨在满足所有参与器官和骨髓移植受者研究和护理的临床医生和科学家的需求。
