It generally causes conditions like bronchiolitis and pneumonia. These can be diagnosed through physical examination, skin monitoring to check for hypoxemia, chest X-rays, blood tests, and lab test of respiratory secretions. This book explores all the important aspects of respiratory infections in the present day scenario. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory infections.

Download or read book Acute Respiratory Infections written by Wei Shen Lim and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-08-02 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are the most common acute medical problem encountered in primary care. Not only are RTIs very common, the spectrum of disease is wide. Clinical management differs according to the characteristics of the infected host and infecting pathogen. Despite these features, there are currently no pocketbooks that bring together clinically relevant information on this broad and important subject area in an accessible and practical manner. This pocketbook offers a concise companion for health care professionals who manage patients with acute lung infections. The book covers aspects related to the diagnosis and initial management of these patients, with attention to specific infections which are notable for being difficult to manage, common or of particular clinical importance. The book will appeal to a wide variety of professionals in acute medicine, respiratory medicine, infectious diseases, primary care, and other internal medicine specialties.
