On the spectrum of antimicrobial effect it is similar to penicillin. The drug is active against gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms (meningococci, streptococci, pneumococci, staphylococci, gonococci).
Respiratory tract
The Central body of the respiratory system is lungs. They are located on either side of heart. Air enters through the respiratory tract from the atmosphere, and through the pulmonary arteries – into deoxygenated blood. As a result, the body’s cells get the fuel (oxygen), which allows them to perform all necessary functions, such as the transformation of nutrients, tissue formation, and regeneration.
Unfortunately, all the systems of the human body are susceptible to the disease. Disease can be acquired or congenital, chronic or acute. In diseases of the lungs with lung tissue damage not only breathing problems can occur, but also changes in blood circulation. In any case, even a slight rhinitis can lead to a very serious consequences, remember this.
The diseases of the respiratory tract include the followings:
- Bronchial asthma
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Sleep Apnea Syndrome
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Lung Cancer
- Lung abscess
- Pleurisy
- Tuberculosis
- Antritis
- Tonsillitis
- Pneumonia
Bronchitis, laryngitis, pharyngitis, asthma and other diseases can be treated mainly by suitable climate, clean air and the different types of inhalation. Naturally treatment is prescribed by the physician, after conducting a comprehensive survey. Pulmonology is alone in pulmonary tuberculosis. It is very contagious and deadly. In pulmonology section dealing with diagnosis, both prevention and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis is phisiology. Unfortunately, it is difficult to make a proper diagnosis based on symptoms, and the diagnosis of tuberculosis is often later leads to the death of the patient. Moreover, the background of tuberculosis can develop other pathological processes, which also exacerbates the situation. Every year 10 million people suffer from various forms of tuberculosis. This is the worst disease of the lungs.
Respiratory tract infections are the most common and the most massive of the diseases. A common feature of these is the airborne spread of the localization of the pathogen in the respiratory tract.
During the respiratory tract infections the infection spreads when a sick person is talking, sneezing and coughing in confined spaces.
The group of airborne infection is primarily influenza and other acute respiratory infections. Airborne transmission is major and in many other infectious diseases one can observe diphtheria, meningococcal infection, sore throat, measles, rubella, etc.
In these diseases the pathogens are thrown into the air by droplets of saliva or mucus. Their greatest concentration is observed at a distance of 2-3 meters from the patient. Small droplets of saliva around the patient may exist a long time. Large droplets of saliva containing pathogens quickly settle, dry up, forming tiny nucleoli. With the dust, they again rise into the air and its streams are transferred, even in other rooms. When inhaling these substrates an infection penetrates the body.
