Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a disease associated with
high morbidity and mortality, with at least one third of cases
requiring hospitalization, exceeding the numbers admitted for
myocardial infarction and stroke. Despite a broad armamentarium of
antimicrobials available, it remains an important cause of death in
industrialized countries. CAP is caused by a variety of pathogens
with their order of importance dependent on the location and
population studied. Despite the importance of CAP, reliable data
and a recommended evidence-based therapy are lacking, and basic
research must be improved.
The goal of this volume is to present state-of-the-art knowledge
on epidemiology, clinical presentation, immunology, pathology, and
diagnosis including the identification of "new pathogens."
Therapeutic approaches, antibiotics resistance, disease management
and vaccination strategies are also covered. The volume is of
interest to researchers and clinicians in virology, epidemiology
and biomedicine.
