This collection of review articles summarises a series of
key hot topics in paediatric infection and immunity that
are of relevance and importance to specialists in paediatric
infectious diseases. These articles will be of interest to
paediatricians and infection specialists around the world at
the cutting edge of diagnosis, management and prevention
of infection. The manuscripts are based on presentations
made by leading experts in the fi eld at the 14th Hot Topics
in Infection and Immunity in Children meeting (www.
oxfordiic.org) held at The Mathematical Institute and St
Anne’s College, University of Oxford, UK in July 2016.
The editors are indebted to Sue Brockes-Smith for her
work and effi ciency in organising the course. Its continuing
success is in large part due to her calmness under pressure
and her exceptional organisational skills and hard work. We
also thank Pamela Morison for her help in preparing this
supplement and, in particular, for her painstaking attention
to detail. Her patience, diplomatic skills, perseverance and
gentle cajoling of recalcitrant authors (and editors) have
been key to ensuring timely production of this supplement.
We also thank the European Society for Paediatric Infectious
Diseases (ESPID) for their continued fi nancial support.
