Abstract:

Infectious disease is a major problem for children' s health worldwide. Early and accurate identification and diagnosis of pathogens play a very important role for the prevention and control of infectious diseases,especially for the control of antibiotics and anti-viral medicine abuse. In order to improve the laboratory ability for the diagnosis of infectious diseases in children,a variety of clinical and on-site diagnostic systems should be developed for the rapid determination of pathogens or host biomarkers by utilizing multiple techniques and assays,and the molecular epidemiological characteristics of pathogen genotype and its possible relationship with pathogenesis should be deeply investigated.
