Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The special issue on acute viral infection complications delves into post-acute sequelae (PASC) or long COVID, exploring its mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and management. It covers immune-mediated complications, such as autoimmune disorders, triggered by viral mimicry or dysregulated immune responses. The issue also addresses neurological, respiratory, cardiovascular, and pregnancy-related complications arising from viral infections. Through research articles and case studies, it aims to enhance understanding of these complications, informing clinical practice, public health strategies, and ongoing research for better patient outcomes globally.
