Medical specialists provide information for physicians who deal with respiratory and critical care infections, especially for critical care practitioners who frequently are the initial providers of care to patients with infections. The information incorporates the 2013-14 technical literature and contains tables and figures for quick reference. The topics include community acquired pneumonia, respiratory infections in drug users, invasive fungal infections in critically ill patients, biomarkers in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory infections, and the role of the nurse in the treatment of respiratory infections.
