Respiratory Medicine is an authoritative and up-to-date multicontributed text on respiratory diseases which combines applied science with good clinical practice.
The book is divided into twelve major sections over two volumesPart A covers the important areas of lung anatomy, lung defenses and immunology Part B deals with diagnostic methods and includes treatises on respiratory function tests and lung imaging, laboratory methods and invasive techniques such as bronchoscopy, lung biopsy and pleural aspirationPart C covers the principles of treatment and highlights new areas of developmentPart D deals with developmental abnormalitiesPart E with environmental problems and lung injuryVolume I concludes with respiratory infections and covers HIV infection as well as fungal and parasitic diseases.
Volume 2 provides complete and comprehensive coverage of clinical respiratory medicine and discusses important topics such as lung tumours, airway disorders and interstitial lung disease.
