In this book the authors review current options for management for a group of patients that present unique challenges to the clinician, and for whom the choices of effective therapy are often limited.Most up to date book available dedicated specifically to this topicMajor management issue in respiratory medicine for critical care, transplant and cancer patientsReviews important new advanRespiratory infectionsLungsInfectionsImmunosuppressionComplicationsRespiratory infections.LungsInfections.ImmunosuppressionComplications.616.2/4Agusti Carlos1751048Torres Marti A(Antoni)789378MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910877640503321Pulmonary infection in the immuno-compromised patient4185865UNINA
