Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the alveoli of the lung. It typically starts as an upper respiratory tract infection, which moves into the lower respiratory tract. Pneumonia can be diagnosed based on a chest X-ray and examination of physical signs. In individuals requiring hospitalization, chest radiography, blood tests and pulse oximetry are generally performed. Oral antibiotics, analgesics, fluids and rest are sufficient for complete resolution of the disease. In the elderly, or individuals with difficulty breathing or other medical conditions, treatment requires advanced care. A first dose of antibiotics is required as soon as possible. A combination of corticosteroids and antibiotics can significantly improve outcomes. Neuraminidase inhibitors are used for the treatment of viral pneumonia. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia. It will also provide interesting topics for research, which interested readers can take up. This book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike.

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in late 2002 and 2003 challenged the global public health community to confront a novel epidemic that spread rapidly from its origins in southern China until it had reached more than 25 other countries within a matter of months. In addition to the number of patients infected with the SARS virus, the disease had profound economic and political repercussions in many of the affected regions. Recent reports of isolated new SARS cases and a fear that the disease could reemerge and spread have put public health officials on high alert for any indications of possible new outbreaks. This report examines the response to SARS by public health systems in individual countries, the biology of the SARS coronavirus and related coronaviruses in animals, the economic and political fallout of the SARS epidemic, quarantine law and other public health measures that apply to combating infectious diseases, and the role of international organizations and scientific cooperation in halting the spread of SARS. The report provides an illuminating survey of findings from the epidemic, along with an assessment of what might be needed in order to contain any future outbreaks of SARS or other emerging infections.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-Cov2), which may cause mild to moderate respiratory complications in most infected people. Older people and those with chronic and/or acute illnesses may present serious complications. Underlying mechanisms of the cellular responses to the virus are not fully revealed; therefore, understanding the pathophysiology of COVID-19 is crucial to provide efficient data to define the appropriate and effective therapeutic strategies to cure and prevent COVID-19-associated complications. The Handbook of Research on Pathophysiology and Strategies for the Management of COVID-19 summarizes and assembles the published data on COVID-19 and provides an answer to the reader for the mystery of SARS-Cov2’s impact on human health through a deep analysis of the current data available in the literature. This book addresses the epidemiology and infectious patterns of the disease and the recent pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease and relationships to the medical history of the patient. Covering topics from the tie between COVID-19 and respiratory disease to vaccination information, this comprehensive reference source is ideal for clinicians, health professionals, pathologists, virologists, researchers, academicians, and medical and PhD students.
