Abstract

In some countries, acute lower respiratory tract infection causes more illness and death than any other infection; as is the case in the United States. In fact, these infections also cause a greater burden of disease worldwide than human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, malaria, cancer, or heart attacks [1]. With regard to pneumonia, the prevalence of various pathogens and the epidemiology of the disease vary widely between countries and regions, making it difficult to accurately discuss the international burden of the disease.
