Overview

Infectious diseases respiratory infections are illnesses of the respiratory tract caused by pathogenic microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mycobacteria that can affect the airways, lungs, and associated structures. Research published in Respiratory Diseases examines clinical outcomes and management approaches for these infections across diverse populations and settings. Published studies have documented mortality patterns in pneumophthisiology departments, revealing the clinical burden and outcomes of severe respiratory infections including tuberculosis in hospital settings. The journal has also explored respiratory function in immunocompromised populations, specifically examining spirometric profiles in individuals living with HIV who are receiving antiretroviral therapy, addressing the intersection of infectious disease and chronic respiratory impairment. Additionally, the journal covers therapeutic approaches to managing symptoms associated with respiratory infections, including reviews of pharmacological agents used to treat persistent cough, a common manifestation of both acute and chronic respiratory infections. This body of work reflects the global impact of infectious respiratory diseases, particularly in resource-limited settings, and the ongoing need for evidence-based approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and outcome assessment in affected populations.
