Description

This work sets out to provide the information necessary for understanding endotoxin and its effects on the lungs, and explicates the difficulties in determining how to manipulate endotoxin pathobiology. The rationale for, and efficacy of, current and experimental treatments for sepsis, adult respiratory distress syndrome and other endotoxin-induced lung injuries are discussed.
