Abstract

One of the leading causes of disease and death worldwide is lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs), especially in children and the elderly. LRTIs include bronchitis, pneumonia, and bronchiolitis and can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. While antibiotics are commonly used to treat LRTIs, their effectiveness is limited to bacterial infections, and overuse of antibiotics increases healthcare costs and leads to antibiotic resistance. Pharmacist treatments have been shown to improve patient health or reduce hospital readmissions; however, further study is needed to determine the optimal combination of interventions. Patients who had surgery, an organ transplant, or incidental exposure to hazardous metals were included in our study. Additionally included were patients who experienced any of the following pneumonia, CPAM, interstitial pneumonitis, infiltrating TB, or microbial invasions due to drug side effects. After receiving antibiotic treatment (cephalosporin, like cefuroxime or cefpodoxime), the patients symptoms went away. According to the results of all their tests, the body operates normally. The patient recovers more quickly and achieves better results as a result of the pharmacists interventions during therapy.
