New guidelines in respiratory infections
Symposium Chairs: G.B. Migliori (Tradate, Italy), A. Torres (Barcelona, Spain)
Aims: The decision of when and how to treat respiratory infections is often difficult. This is particularly complicated when it is unclear whether an isolated microorganism is really the causative agent of a disease, or not, and when resistant strains are isolated. This session provides a guideline for practicing physicians on how to deal with common clinical situations, based on the ?state-of-the-art? guidelines on management of LRTI in the community, AE-COPD, CAP and TB.
