Zusammenfassung
Infektionen der unteren Atemwege und der Lungen sind im ambulanten und stationären Bereich der Krankenversorgung von herausragender Bedeutung. Im ersten Teil der Serie zur Infektionsdiagnostik in der Pneumologie wurden aktuelle Methoden der Infektionsdiagnostik bei Atemwegserkrankungen umfassend vorgestellt. Im zweiten Teil dieser Übersicht wurden Kriterien zur Unterscheidung von bakterieller Kolonisation und Infektion bei Atemwegsinfektionen behandelt. Im abschließenden dritten Teil wird diese klinisch bedeutsame Abgrenzung für humanpathogene Viren und Pilze vorgenommen. Die hier erläuterten diagnostischen Verfahren und Therapieindikationen können als wichtige Entscheidungshilfe im klinischen Alltag dienen.
Abstract
Lower respiratory tract infections play an important role in the ambulatory and hospital health-care sectors. State-of-the-art diagnoses of lower respiratory tract infections and methods to differentiate bacterial lower respiratory tract infections from colonisation have been described in the first two parts of this review series. The present article summarises current diagnostic methods and treatment indications for viral and fungal respiratory infections. These recommendations may guide clinicians in their decision to prescribe or withhold antibiotic therapies in daily clinical practice.
