Respiratory infections or respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are infections that lead to diseases that affect the respiratory tract. Infections of the respiratory tract may be caused due to microbes like virus, bacteria, and fungi. The common respiratory tract infections include common cold, pneumonia, bronchitis and tonsillitis. All beings have an innate ability to resist and fight with infection causing agents and this ability is known as immunity. In case of RTIs, immunity acts as the protective line of defense. Researchers have been working to understand respiratory immunopathology by understanding the mechanisms involved in human body fighting different types of RTIs. Such knowledge would be important for developing effective therapies for treatment and prevention of RTIs. The aim of this book is to present breakthrough researches that have been conducted on respiratory tract infections. It also discusses the role of immunity with respect to respiratory infections. This book will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in this area of study.
