Description and Table of Contents
Description
This groundbreaking reference outlines the clinical manifestations and management of illness caused by common respiratory viruses, and details the most up-to-date diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventative measures.
Reviews specific pulmonary diseases on a pathogen-by-pathogen basis!
Assessing the newest approaches to viral diagnosis, Viral Infections of the Respiratory Tract
analyzes important interactions between viruses and the respiratory tract
elucidates the pathophysiology and unique mechanisms by which viruses cause illness and evade host defense mechanisms
covers the clinical management of respiratory viral infections
shows how viruses can be used for understanding pulmonary diseases such as bronchiolitis, asthma, and secondary bacterial infections of the lung
addresses respiratory viral infections in newborn, elderly, and immunosuppressed patients
discusses the use of therapeutic and preventative approaches for pediatric and adult patients
explores the emerging understanding of the pathogenesis of viral respiratory disease
identifies the critical literature on proven viral infections
and more!
With over 1800 references, tables, drawings, and photographs, Viral Infections of the Respiratory Tract is ideal for pulmonologists, infectious disease specialists, physiologists, virologists, and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.
