Marcel Dekker, 2003. — 407 p.
This book is a practical guide for the treatment of the most common community-associated respiratory infections. In addition to the medical aspects of the treatment of patients, the book provides the pharmacodynamic basis for some of the treatment drug choices, especially for the dose and dosing regimen. It incorporates the most recent data and combines it with proven clinical approaches. Antimicrobial recommendations from practice management guidelines have been included whenever appropriate. This material will be useful and practical for clinicians in the management of patients with community-acquired respiratory infections. This book is a collaborative effort of pharmacologists, clinical pharmacists, and physicians that will be invaluable to all. In particular, it should be of interest and service to family practitioners, general internists, infectious disease specialists, pulmonologists, and pharmacists.
