Introduction to Respiratory System Infections

This book insists on discussing respiratory infections from a clinical perspective, and further understands the treatment of infections based on scientific basis. Therefore, the first chapters of this book focus on basic science, which helps readers understand common infection problems, and the subsequent chapters are the clinical treatment of infectious lung diseases. Unlike other similar books, this book focuses on the clinical treatment of respiratory infections in special high-risk populations (rather than organism-oriented), because the editors firmly believe that patients' clinical manifestations must be considered when suspected of having a special microbial infection in the lung And epidemiological information.

This book can be used as a reference for clinical and scientific researchers of internal and external departments, ICUs, infectious diseases physicians.

Great progress has also been made in the study of epidemiological and biological aspects related to respiratory specific organisms. For example, pathogens such as Mycobacterium and pneumococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, and certain Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae have become resistant to commonly used antimicrobials, which has also increased the potential Difficulty in treating the disease. New pathogens, such as the identified Hantan virus, and new epidemiological detection techniques can help clarify whether the natural history of the disease is community-acquired pneumonia or hospital-acquired pneumonia. At the same time, as the complexity of respiratory infections continues to increase, so too do the techniques used for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Molecular biology has provided new methods for our diagnosis and treatment. New antimicrobial and antifungal drugs have also provided powerful weapons for the treatment of lung infections. The development of vaccines for common infections has also made promising progress.

With the publication of this book, new content has been added to these fast-growing areas. We insist on discussing systemic infections from a clinical perspective, and further understand the treatment of infections based on scientific evidence. Therefore, the first chapters of this book focus on basic science, which helps us understand common infection problems, and the subsequent chapters are the clinical treatment of infectious lung diseases. Unlike other similar books, this book focuses on the clinical treatment of respiratory infections in special high-risk populations (not organism-oriented) because we firmly believe that the clinical manifestations of patients must be considered when suspected of special microbial infections in the lungs And epidemiological information. However, this clinical research method must be backed by solid basic science, especially in the areas of respiratory immunology and new information on the natural and medicinal properties of antibiotics against bacteria.

The content of this book is novel. It makes a detailed and systematic discussion of respiratory infections from the aspects of basics, clinical, diagnostic methods, treatment and prevention. There is no such detailed monograph in China. This book is divided into 6 parts and 45 chapters. The highlights of this book are:

1.The first part of the book is from the host's lung defense network, the host's non-specific defense mechanism, the humoral immunity of the lung, the mechanism of respiratory colonization, the damage of the host by human immunodeficiency virus infection, neutrophil and cellular immunity, The cytokine network of lung inflammation response and antibiotic defense mechanism, the antimicrobial resistance mechanism, and the relationship between gastrointestinal tract and pneumonia were discussed in detail.

2. The second part mainly discusses the clinical management of respiratory infections in special populations, including children, chemotherapy immunosuppressed patients, solid organ transplant and bone marrow transplant patients, trauma patients, the elderly and some patients with special diseases. In addition, community acquired infections, hospital acquired infections, and hospital acquired infections outside the ICU were discussed separately.

The third part introduces the pathogens that cause pneumonia, including common clinical pathogens and newly discovered pathogens such as pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, MRSA, Legionella, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Hantan virus, Nocardia, Actinomyces, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and fungi.

4. The fourth part mainly introduces the microbiological diagnosis method of lung infection and the invasive examination technology of lower respiratory system infection.

5. The fifth part mainly introduces the antimicrobial treatment of respiratory infections, and elaborate the mechanism of action of different types of antimicrobial drugs.

6. The sixth part introduces the prevention and treatment of respiratory infections, especially the curative effect of vaccine treatment, research and development prospects, indications and contraindications.

7, more than 100 high-quality pictures, X-rays, CT films, make the content described in this book more complete, accurate and visual.

8. There are 116 charts in the book, which makes the content more systematic and clear, which is easy to compare.
