It is all about infection.
The notion that most diseases are caused by or associated with infections has not penetrated sufficiently into the medical community nor to society at large. This was one of the reasons why a symposium entitled "It is all about infection" was held at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm (9 and 10 June 2006). The other main reason for calling it was to demonstrate the width of the subject and the need for interaction between scientists from developing versus developed countries over common issues pertaining to infections.
