Abstract
Despite the impressive success of pharmacotherapy, the development of more and more generations of antibacterial drugs, the proportion of pneumonia in the structure of human morbidity is quite large. Thus, in Russia annually more than 1.5 million people are observed by doctors for this disease, of which 20% are admitted to hospitals due to the severity of the disease. Among all hospitalized patients with bronchopulmonary inflammation, excluding acute respiratory viral infections, the number of patients with pneumonia exceeds 60%.
