LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
  • Identify host defenses for preventing lower respiratory tract infections.

  • Recommend appropriate examinations and laboratory tests to assist in the diagnosis of various lower respiratory tract infections.
  • Recommend appropriate nonpharmacologic therapy for the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections.
  • Recommend appropriate pharmacologic therapy for the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections, including both symptomatic therapies as well as selecting antimicrobial agents for eradicating associated pathogens.
  • Differentiate between bronchitis and bronchiolitis.

  • Select appropriate antimicrobial agents for the treatment of pneumonia based on the clinical setting and the respective dominating pathogens.
  • Compare and contrast the most commonly isolated pathogens associated with lower respiratory tract infections between adult and pediatric patients.
  • Propose strategies that may be employed to prevent or reduce the occurrence of lower respiratory tract infections.
  • List respiratory pathogens and complications observed in immunocompromised patients.
  • Apply knowledge of prescribed antimicrobials in providing patient-specific counseling in order to optimize therapy.
