内容説明・目次
内容説明
This volume is a guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of pneumonia, the common cold, influenza, bronchial infections, and tuberculosis in elderly people. The contributors explain how the incidence, clinical and laboratory features, and course of these diseases are affected by ageing, malnutrition, coexisting illnesses, and medications and how these factors impact on decisions about therapy and prophylaxis. A chapter on antibiotics includes dosing schedules for specific drugs, infections, and clinical scenarios. Detailed recommendations are offered for vaccination, control of airborne infection in nursing homes, and prevention, diagnosis, and management of nosocomial pneumonia. Other problems addressed include the emergence of newer respiratory pathogens in the elderly, the treatment of aspiration pneumonia, and the workup and management of recurrent or unresolving pneumonia.
