Abstract
The published work is an overview of the most common infectious complications in internal medicine. In particular, these are lower respiratory tract infections, urinary infections, cardiovascular infections and gastrointestinal infections, including the most serious one, i.e. septic conditions.
Individual infections are listed in tables and divided according to the sites of their origin. Also included are recommended therapies - both initial (mostly for outpatient management) and the so called alternative which can be used either following clinical failure of initial treatment or in severe cases requiring hospitalization.
Although these therapeutic recommendations are naturally not credited as generally valid therapeutic procedures they may be compared with approaches used in other health care facilities.
