About the journal
TopAims and Scope
Transplant Infectious Disease has been established as a forum for presenting the most current information on the prevention and treatment of infection complicating organ and bone marrow transplantation. The point of view of the journal is that infection and allograft rejection (or graft-versus-host disease) are closely intertwined, and that advances in one area will have immediate consequences on the other. The interaction of the transplant recipient with potential microbial invaders, the impact of immunosuppressive strategies on this interaction, and the effects of cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines liberated during the course of infections, rejection, or graft-versus-host disease are central to the interests and mission of this journal.
Transplant Infectious Disease is aimed at disseminating the latest information relevant to the infectious disease complications of transplantation to clinicians and scientists involved in bone marrow, kidney, liver, heart, lung, intestinal, and pancreatic transplantation. The infectious disease consequences and concerns regarding innovative transplant strategies, from novel immunosuppressive agents to xenotransplantation, are very much a concern of this journal. In addition, this journal feels a particular responsibility to inform primary care practitioners in the community, who increasingly are sharing the responsibility for the care of these patients, of the special considerations regarding the prevention and treatment of infection in transplant recipients. As exemplified by the international editorial board, articles are sought throughout the world that address both general issues and those of a more restricted geographic import.
Transplant Infectious Disease includes state-of-the-art review articles on important subjects, the results of clinical investigation, interesting case reports, and two recurring features: a clinical-pathologic conference and reviews of the basic science foundation of transplant infectious disease. Subjects covered include specific infections, the epidemiology of important infections, the interaction among immunosuppression and infection exposure, the diagnosis of specific infection, pathogenesis, and clinical management. Both basic science and clinical articles are featured. Where controversy exists, both sides of an issue are presented. This journal is meant to serve the needs of all clinicians and scientists involved in the study and care of organ and bone marrow transplant recipients.

Manuscripts should be submitted online via Manuscript Central, our new online submission and review system. Check www.transinfect.com or go directly to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tid.
Special offer: All authors who submit an article will receive a FREE online subscription to the journal. All authors whose articles are accepted for publication will receive a FREE print and online subscription.
Manuscripts should be in English, typed double-spaced in a word processing program in the accepted style of manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals. Authors submit papers not published before, not submitted for consideration elsewhere, written by them, and that have been read and approved by all authors.
TYPES OF MANUSCRIPTS SOLICITED
Review articles (8 to 12 printed pages or about 25-30 pages typed double-spaced.) Review articles on recent developments on topics relevant to the journal and summarizing the current state of knowledge on selected topics of transplant infectious disease, and usually with an extensive list of references, are invited for submission. Authors should submit a brief proposal/outline of reviews via e-mail to an Editor before submission.
Original Reports (7 to 10 printed pages or about 15-20 typed pages). Reports of current research finding in either experimental or clinical transplant infectious disease.
Case reports (4 printed pages or about 10-15 pages typed double-spaced.) Cases of a clinical problem that has been studied in detail, are of exceptional interest and novelty, and provide material for further research will be considered, together with an overview and review of the relevant current literature.
Basic Science (7 to 10 printed pages.) Article exploring and discussing in detail some aspect of the basic science underlying infection, treatment, etc. that is relevant to clinicians and researchers in the field of transplant infectious disease.
Images in Transplant Infectious Disease (3 to 5 printed pages.) Articles focusing on brief cases where the striking radiologic or diagnostic imaging findings were key to the diagnosis of the case and understanding of the disease. The figures are the main feature/focus of this type of paper.
Clinico-pathologic Conference (CPC) (6 to 8 printed pages.) Illustrative/educational case that summarizes the incidence and prevalence of the disorder, identifies key signs and symptoms, discusses the differential diagnosis resulting in the correct diagnosis, outlines the management strategy and key clinical decisions made. Discuss anticipated outcome, review costs, and issues that would facilitate or hinder the management strategy. Authors should submit a brief proposal/outline of CPC articles via e-mail to an Editor before submission.
Short communications (2 to 4 printed pages.) Brief or preliminary reports, not to exceed 2500 words including the short abstract, and organized in the same way as a larger original report or case report. The number of references, tables or figures if any, should be compatible with the length of the paper.
Letters to the Editor (1 to 2 printed pages.) No abstract required. Should have a limited number of references, 1 table or figure if necessary, not to exceed 500 words. Observations on critical topics in transplant infectious disease or comments on articles previously published in the journal. Letters should encourage scientific discussion in transplant infectious disease. They should be submitted via the online system just as other types of articles, typed double-spaced, the body of the paper starting "To the Editor." Letters are regarded as correspondence, being sent with an understanding they are to be published, and do not require copyright permission forms. The editors reserve the right to edit letters for clarity and brevity, and where previous articles are discussed, the authors of those articles will be given an opportunity to respond.
Editorials (1 to 2 printed pages.) Generally only written by the Editors or an invited guest editor of a special issue.
MANUSCRIPT FORMAT:
Title page: Title of paper, without abbreviated terms. Initials and last names of authors. Authors' affiliations for each author, numbered consecutively, with departments, institutions, city and country. Corresponding author's name, mailing address, phone, fax, and email. A short 'running title' of fewer than 40 characters.
Abstract page: Brief abstract, which should not contain any reference numbers. List 3-10 key words at the end of the abstract.
Note: Although, in Manuscript Central, authors enter title page information, abstract, key words, etc., on earlier screens, all this information should be included with the main body of the uploaded manuscript as well.
Introduction: Brief background, but do not review subject extensively. Give pertinent references. State specific questions you attempted to answer.
Patients and methods/Material and methods (or Case report): Describe selection of patients, animals, including controls. Do not use patient's names or hospital numbers. Identify methods, apparatus (with manufacturer's name, city, and country), and procedures in sufficient detail to allow others to reproduce your results. Provide references and brief descriptions of published methods. When using new methods, evaluate their advantages and limitations. Identify drugs and chemicals, using generic name, dosage, and route of administration. Indicate whether procedures were approved by the Ethics Committee in your country or institution, or in accordance with Helsinki Declaration of 1975.
Results: Present results in logical sequence in tables and illustrations (cited in the text, but placed at the end of the manuscript). In text, explain, emphasize, or summarize the most important observations.
Discussion: Do not repeat detailed data given in Results. Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study. Relate observations to other relevant studies. Discuss possible implications and conclusions. When you propose a new hypothesis, clearly label it as such.
References (see style details below) List in consecutive numerical order of appearance in the text. Use Arabic numerals in parentheses (not superscript, not italic).
Figure Legends: Number figures consecutively with Arabic numerals. Number the figures and list figure legends together on a page at the end of the main body of the manuscript. Relevant details about stain and magnification should be included in the legend.
Tables: Number tables consecutives with Arabic numerals. Type each separately with titles making them self-explanatory. Define all abbreviations used in each table in a footnote key/legend beneath the table.
Figures: Figures should clarify the text and their number kept to a minimum. Illustrations should be reproduced in a common electronic format such as .jpg, .gif, .tif, etc. Details must be large enough to retain their clarity after reduction in size, with good contrast and detail. Photomicrographs must have internal scale markers (linear scale). Be sure to mask and conceal any information that might identify the patient's identity in the figures to maintain patient confidentiality. See Blackwell Authors Center online for more information on illustrations: http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/illustration.asp
Abbreviations and symbols: Use only standard abbreviations. Write out all abbreviations in full at first use, with abbreviation following in parentheses, except for standard units of measures (e.g., mg, mL, dL). All units will be metric. In decimals, a decimal point and not a comma will be used. Avoid using abbreviations in the title of the paper.
References should be kept to a pertinent minimum and numbered consecutively (1, 2, 3 order) as they appear in the text, indicated by Arabic numbers in parentheses, e.g. (3, 4, 5-7), not superscript or italic. Accepted articles may be listed in the reference list as 'in press' after the abbreviated title of the accepting journal (if published in the interim, between acceptance and printing of your article, information will be updated in the proof stage). Submitted articles not yet accepted should be cited in the text as (submitted) and not included in the reference list. Avoid using abstracts as references if possible.
For each reference, list all author names if there are 6 or less; if over 6 authors, just list the first 3 and then put et al. Do not type author names in capital letters. Use standard Index Medicus/MEDLINE journal abbreviations (with no punctuation, not in italics), followed by the year, the volume number, and the full inclusive page numbers, with final number not abbreviated (e.g., 1457-1459, not 1457-9).
