Although these illnesses do not immediately endanger the life of the patient they seriously affect the health of many individuals.

متن کاملRespiratory Viral Infections in Chronic Lung Diseases.
Chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, cystic fibrosis (CF) and interstitial lung diseases (ILD), affect many individuals worldwide. Patients with these chronic lung diseases are susceptible to respiratory lung infections and some of these viral infections can contribute to disease pathogenesis. This review highlights the associations of lung infect...
متن کاملBacterial Adaptation during Chronic Respiratory Infections
Chronic lung infections are associated with increased morbidity and mortality for individuals with underlying respiratory conditions such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The process of chronic colonisation allows pathogens to adapt over time to cope with changing selection pressures, co-infecting species and antimicrobial therapies. These adaptations ca...
متن کاملDistribution of hemolytic streptococci in respiratory specimens.
One hundred thirty-seven isolates of beta-hemolytic streptococci were recovered from 623 pharyngeal cultures. Twenty-nine percent of these were group A, 10% were group B, 31% were group C, 11% were group F, 12% were group G, and 7% could not be grouped. The significance of non-group A isolates in pharyngitis could not be evaluated in the absence of viral and serological studies. Hemolytic strep...
متن کاملFungal Infections of Respiratory Tract-Final Section
Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Coccidioides immitis, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, and Penicillium marneffei are endemic dimorphic fungi that may infect the respiratory tract. Sporothrix schenkeii, which manifests the typical thermal dimorphism of the endemic dimorphic organisms, does not seem to follow a geographically defined endemic pattern of distribution...
