The immuno-compromised patient is more susceptible to a broader range of infections than others, and infections of the respiratory tract are among the first and most common to be encountered. In this book the authors review current options for management for a group of patients that present unique challenges to the clinician, and for whom the choices of effective therapy are often limited. Most up to date book available dedicated specifically to this topic. Major management issue in respiratory medicine for critical care, transplant and cancer patients. Reviews important new advances in therapeutics, including drug resistance.
