The art of disease

For every issue, the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases prints a different work of art on the cover. That may seem a bit non-sequiturish, but the pieces are actually carefully chosen to illustrate the theme of the issue. Better yet, the editors of Emerging Infectious Diseases take a page to explain the connections, which usually include some interesting segues into the history of art and medical science.
