Abstract | Introduction: The Infectious Diseases discipline is diverse, dynamic, vibrant, ever-changing, exciting and fascinating. The Infectious Diseases specialists have a major contribution both to the successful outcome of the individual patient with an infectious episode and to public health on multiple levels. The involvement of infectious diseases specialist in complex infections has shown to reduce mortality by about 50%. On the background of the global antimicrobial resistance crisis, the infectious diseases specialists have assumed another important role: to guard antibiotics and fight resistance. As a response to the crisis, guidelines to balance between the need for high quality treatment for the individual patient and sensible use of antibiotics were issued. These were named antibiotic stewardship programs. The Israeli Society of Infectious Diseases, instituted in 1979, has risen to the challenge and undertaken leadership in promoting antibiotic stewardship programs in Israel. This edition of Harefuah, dedicated to the disciple of Infectious Diseases, includes several original articles and reviews representing a selection of the major activities of the Israeli Infectious Diseases specialists. The topic of antibiotic stewardship is emphasized in this edition; it is covered by two original articles, a review and an editorial. Other topics covered are antibiotic resistance, vaccine effects, travel medicine and international medicine. The field of infectious diseases is facing important challenges, among them responses to the global antibiotic crisis and the development of efficient vaccines to fight life-threatening endemic and emerging infections, as well as future epidemics. The Israeli Infectious Diseases specialists are also committed to these important tasks. |
