Pulmonary infections remain a major cause of infant and child mortality worldwide and are responsible for a substantial burden of morbidity. During the 2015 European Respiratory Society International Congress in Amsterdam, some of the main findings from peer-reviewed articles addressing this topic that were published in the preceding 12 months were reviewed in a Paediatric Clinical Year in Review session. The following article highlights some of the insights provided by these articles into the complex interactions of the human host with the extensive and dynamic populations of microorganisms that call an individual "home".
肺部感染仍然是全球婴幼儿死亡的主要原因,并且导致了相当大的发病负担。在2015年于阿姆斯特丹召开的欧洲呼吸学会国际大会期间,在“儿科临床年度回顾”环节中对过去12个月发表的、涉及该主题的同行评审文章的一些主要研究结果进行了回顾。以下文章着重介绍了这些文章所提供的一些见解,这些见解涉及人类宿主与大量动态微生物群体之间的复杂相互作用,这些微生物群体将个体视为“家园”。
