Textbook of Respiratory and Critical Care Infections

This book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and management of respiratory infections for practising pulmonologists, intensivists and trainees. Beginning with an overview of genetic predisposition to respiratory disorders, the following chapters discuss different types of infection including pneumonia, tuberculosis, viral infections and upper respiratory tract infections. Complete chapters are dedicated to respiratory tract infections in patients with pre-existing conditions such as HIV and lung cancer. The final sections examine the management of infections in the intensive care setting, and infection prevention through vaccines. Written by recognised experts from Milan and Athens, this practical reference includes nearly 50 images to enhance learning.

Infections in the Adult Intensive Care Unit

The book will provide some basic aspects of the pathophysiology of infection, but essentially the book will be practical-based and use case-illustrations to highlight key aspects of diagnosis, management and prevention. Through a combination of text, tables, figures/line drawings, clinical illustrations and other illustrations, it is hoped to provide a comprehensive, interesting and stimulating approach to this important subject. Guidance on the appropriate use of laboratory investigations, as well as radiology, together with templates to use for deciding on the optimal choice of anti-infective agents will be amongst the strengths of this book.

Sepsis: New Strategies for Management

"This brief monograph reviews immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory strategies under investigation as adjuncts in management of sepsis and pneumonia. … Practitioners with an academic interest in sepsis are an appropriate audience for this work … . Chapters are clearly written and tables and line drawings have good pedagogic quality." (David J. Dries, Doody’s Review Services, January, 2009)
Sepsis is an important public health problem around the world. Severe sepsis carries significant morbidity, mortality and high costs. The incidence of sepsis is increasing because of the aging population, the growing number of immunocompromised hosts, the increasing use of invasive procedures, and, to a lesser extent, antibiotic resistance among pathogens. Despite recent advances in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutic approaches the mortality rate associated with this condition remains high. Therefore, the goal of Sepsis: New Strategies is to review novel targets to be considered in patients with severe sepsis and to assess new developments for patients with sepsis originating in the respiratory tract.
