Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Severe pneumonia is a common disease that can be associated with frequent hospitalization and poor outcomes. A rapid diagnosis and a correct initial management may improve the prognosis of this condition. Non-invasive mechanical ventilation is a valid therapeutic option in the first phases of the stabilization of severe pneumonia. The use of steroids appears to be a possible adjunctive treatment for some patients. Some new issues have occurred which need to be clarified in terms of patients with severe pneumonia with ARDS.
