Great achievement for our journal, Clinical Microbiology and Infection, which had two papers cited (out of 11) in the article ‘Infectious Diseases: What You May Have Missed in 2023’ published in April 2024 on Annals of Internal Medicine. The aim of this article was to highlight important developments in infectious disease evidence unrelated to COVID-19 that were published in 2023, by literature screening for sound new evidence.
