For respiratory infectious diseases, although the variety and number of antimicrobial drugs used in clinical practice have been increasing, bacterial resistance to these drugs has become a growing concern for clinicians. Currently, with the continuous deepening of reform and opening-up, China's medical and health sector, like its economic development, has achieved rapid progress. The diagnostic and treatment levels in clinical medicine, as well as research and teaching achievements, have reached international advanced standards in some areas. However, significant gaps still exist in many aspects compared to first-class international standards.
To summarize the clinical experience of the Department of Respiratory Medicine and to understand the latest international advancements in respiratory diseases, all clinical physicians, postgraduate students, and researchers of the Department of Respiratory Medicine at Peking Union Medical College Hospital have jointly compiled "Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines of Respiratory Medicine." This book primarily focuses on the clinical aspects of respiratory medicine, aiming to reflect the latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases both domestically and internationally by the end of the 20th century. It emphasizes clinical applicability and provides concise explanations of mature new theories, technologies, and therapies in respiratory medicine. We believe this book will be helpful to colleagues in respiratory medicine, as well as valuable for medical students and postgraduate students as a reference.
