Información del artículo

En los últimos años, la actividad investigadora en enfermedades infecciosas en España ha experimentado un impulso importante. La Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica (SEIMC) acoge actualmente en su seno a 10 grupos de estudio en los que cooperan infectólogos y microbiólogos de distintos centros y que mantienen una actividad investigadora significativa. El programa de Redes Temáticas de Investigación Cooperativa en Salud ha constituido un marco apropiado para la coordinación estratégica de grupos de investigadores de distintas comunidades autónomas. La Red Española para la Investigación en Patología Infecciosa (REIPI) y la Red de Investigación en Sida (RIS) se han consolidado como plataformas que integran investigadores en enfermedades infecciosas de distintos grupos y que llevan a cabo regularmente proyectos de investigación de notable envergadura. La existencia en nuestro país de diversos modelos experimentales en patología infecciosa en instituciones de distintas comunidades autónomas supone un activo importante. Un análisis de la producción científica reciente en enfermedades infecciosas muestra que España ocupa un buen lugar en el contexto de la Unión Europea. La actividad investigadora en enfermedades infecciosas realizada en nuestro país representa una magnífica oportunidad para la formación de especialistas en esta área de conocimiento.

There has been a significant increase in research activity into infectious diseases in Spain in the last few years. The Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC) currently has ten study groups, with the cooperation of infectious diseases specialists and microbiologists from different centres, with significant research activity. The program of Redes Temáticas de Investigación Cooperativa en Salud (Special Topics Cooperative Health Research Networks) is an appropriate framework for the strategic coordination of research groups from the Spanish autonomous communities. The Spanish Network for Research in Infectious Diseases (REIPI) and the Network for Research in AIDS (RIS) integrate investigators in Infectious Diseases from multiple groups, which continuously perform important research projects. Research using different experimental models in infectious diseases, in numerous institutions, is an important activity in our country. The analysis of the recent scientific production in Infectious Diseases shows that Spain has a good position in the context of the European Union. The research activity in Infectious Diseases carried out in our country is a great opportunity for the training of specialists in this area of knowledge.
