Infectious lung diseases

Abstract

Infectious lung diseases are caused by microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, that infect the respiratory system. Treatment for infectious lung diseases typically involves medications such as antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals, depending on the cause of the infection. In some cases, supportive care such as oxygen therapy may also be necessary. Vaccines are available for some infectious lung diseases, such as pneumonia and influenza, and can help prevent these infections from occurring in the first place. © 2023 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
