Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases

Aims & Scope

The Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases publishes original articles and topical reviews concerning both clinical hematology and infectious diseases. A particular attention will be deserved to original article focusing on the relationship between blood and infectious diseases. Reciprocal interdependence between infectious and hematologic diseases (malignant and non-malignant) is well known. This relationship is particularly evident in Mediterranean countries. Parasitosis such as Malaria, Leishmaniosis, B Hookworms, and Teniasis, very common in the southeast Mediterranean area, infects about a billion people and manifest prevalently with anemia so they are usually diagnosed mostly by experienced hematologists on blood or bone marrow smear. On the other hand, infections are also a significant problem in patients affected by hematological malignancies. The blood is the primary vector of HIV infection, which otherwise manifests with symptoms related to a reduction in T lymphocytes. In turn, infections can favor the insurgency of hematological malignancies. The causative relationship between Epstein-Barr virus infection, Helicobacter pylori , hepatitis C virus, HIV, and lymphoproliferative diseases is well known. Editorials from editors (specialists in hematology and infectious diseases) or comments will be welcomed to highlight particularly relevant articles that appeared in this journal or in the more prestigious international journals. MJHID will be a leading journal on subjects of current importance in clinical hematology and infectious diseases. Every issue would have, besides the Editor in chief, a guest editor. Both editors invite experts on the selected topic to perform a complete update of the arguments readily available for practicing physicians. The journal will also have a section devoted to original papers, which will be distinguished in Full articles, Scientific letters, Educational, Clinical cases, Case Reports, and Letters to the Editor. Publication of Case Reports is not a main scope of this Journal and will represent a limited number of papers published. They will be considered when they significantly expand the field of general medical knowledge and/or contribute to acknowledging the pathophysiology of the disease. The rarity of the disease is not considered a criterion of priority. Case reports of a puzzling diagnosis, well documented, and having a prevalent educational character will be assigned to the section MJHID Educational Clinical Case. A case report reported in fewer than 3 pages should be submitted as a Letter to the Editor. Case reports with the review of the literature should be structured similarly to review articles. Clinical trials of hematological and infectious diseases in the Mediterranean area will have their natural home in this Journal. Papers with translational research strictly correlated to clinical problems will also be considered.
