The age, fitness and state of immunity of the patient is of great relevance, and the clinical features of a particular infection vary accordingly. In terms of incidence of infection the acute virus infections are far in the lead. Respiratory infections can be broadly classified into acute and chronic. The acute infections are generally due to bacteria, viruses, rickettsiae and mycoplasma. Chronic infection is either bacterial, mycobacterial, fungal or parasitic in origin. Protection Against Infection There are three methods by which man can protect himself against infections of the respiratory tract-mechanical barriers, phago cytic cells and the immune response.
