Abstract
Community-acquired airway inflammation accounts for a high proportion of morbidity and mortality in the elderly worldwide. In adults, lower respiratory tract infection is the most common cause of death in infectious diseases.
The etiology of the disease is broad, but does not change much. However, the view of respiratory infections is changing.
Better availability of virological examination showed a significantly higher share of viruses in the etiology of HCD and DCD inflammation. However, there is also a change in the increase in bacterial resistance of community-acquired respiratory infections, which is developing as a result of the increase in antibiotic consumption.
Antibiotic treatment for most pneumonia is a matter of course, knowledge of the local situation will allow the correct choice of an effective antibiotic.
