New Developments in Prevention and Treatment of Pediatric Infectious Diseases
Main Article Content
Abstract
Both adults and children are regularly afflicted by infectious illnesses. We now have a better understanding of their epidemiology, pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment because of new diagnostic techniques. Recently, emerging infections have surfaced, prompting health officials to issue warnings. Furthermore, novel anti-microbial therapies have been identified; however, because of the potential for adverse effects on antimicrobial resistance, it is critical to understand when to utilize these therapies in order to prevent overuse and misuse. In addition, new vaccinations have entered the market, and it is crucial that medical professionals understand how they may affect public health. Also the use of prebiotics and probiotics has emerged now as a preventive measure for pediatric infectious diseases.
