The Spectrum of Bronchial Infection: European Respiratory Monograph

Lower respiratory tract infections are one the most frequent
causes of medical consultation in primary care. They are also one of the main
causes of emergency visits and hospital admissions. The majority of these
infections occur in the bronchial tree and include a large spectrum of
aetiologies and clinical manifestations, from mild acute bronchitis to severe
bronchiectasis and exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In
this Monograph, a series of
prestigious researchers and clinicians provide an overview of the advances in
the pathogenesis, manifestations and new approaches to treatment of bronchial
infection in a wide variety of clinical scenarios. This book offers the reader
the best existing scientific evidence that can be applied to the care of
patients with any kind of bronchial infection.
