From common cold to many life-threatening conditions like TB, infectious disease of the respiratory tract is a serious and widespread problem. Within three sections this text provides a complete and highly illustrated dossier of information and practical advice on both pathogens and major syndromes. It also includes coverage of key support and highly specialised areas such as paediatrics, foreign travel, intensive care management etc. Care of patients presenting with major infection ideally involves coordinated multidisciplinary teamwork. Such teams are managed by physicians with a breadth of knowledge spanning numerous specialities which include infectious disease, radiology, microbiology, surgery, intensive care, thoracic medicine and tropical medicine. Collecting together expertise from these fields and beyond, this text forms a comprehensive and invaluable reference resource for all involved in the care and diagnosis of respiratory infection.

Reviews & endorsements
' … fills an essential niche for a comprehensive reference book … the text provides a wealth of factual information on disparate aspects of pulmonary infections. Several chapters are excellent reviews of important topics and should be read by trainees in infectious diseases and respiratory medicine. This book should be readily available for reference in all respiratory and infectious disease departments, and physicians with a specific interest in respiratory infections would probably want to have a copy of it on their own desks.' Jeremy Brown, Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of London
